Purple and white graphic reading “Alzheimer’s Awareness Month” with the hashtag “#ForgetMeNot.” A purple awareness ribbon curves across the image beside a black-and-white illustration of a human brain, partially overlaid with a yellow circle. Text at the bottom reads: “January is a time to learn about dementia, challenge stigma, and ensure no one faces this journey alone. Care, dignity, and connection must come first.” The handle @kimpateonthehill appears at the bottom.
Informational graphic titled “Behind the Forget Me Not.” Text explains that the Alzheimer Society uses the Forget Me Not flower as a symbol of memory loss and as a reminder to remember people living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, as well as their caregivers. A blue Forget Me Not flower appears at the top. A diagram labels the Forget Me Not symbol to represent caregivers, people living with dementia, and the Alzheimer Society. A purple awareness ribbon appears in the bottom right, with the handle @kimpateonthehill at the bottom.
