Yes. Alzheimer’s South Africa hosts information talks (communities and radio), awareness campaigns and educational workshops annually. Other campaigns are targeted during September every year to coincide with World Alzheimer’s month’s awareness events, for example, an online art exhibition (see https://www.iol.co.za/capetimes/news/online-art-exhibition-to-raise-alzheimers-awareness-17161349), media releases, and radio talks.
