1997-1999: Children's book Completed AE projects When someone is
suffering from dementia, the whole family is affected. It can be
difficult for everyone, but particularly for children who do not
always understand what is going on. In 1999, Alzheimer Europe
(in collaboration with the Association Luxembourg Alzheimer)
produced a book aimed at helping children understand more about
Alzheimer’s disease and possibly come to terms with it. The book
is aimed at children between the age of 8 and 11 and is suitable
for those who have a relative with dementia, as well as those
who do not. Participants from eight of our member associations
were involved in the project: - France: Association France
Alzheimer - Greece: Greek Alzheimer Association - Iceland:
F.A.A.S. - Luxembourg: Association Luxembourg Alzheimer -
Portugal: APFADA - Switzerland: Association Alzheimer Suisse -
The Netherlands: Alzheimerstichting - United Kingdom: Alzheimer
