Great turnout for dementia awareness

Film screening proves to be popular. If there was any doubt about the local support for Narrabri to become a truly dementia friendly town, it would have been dispelled at The Crossing Theatre on Saturday evening.  The Dementia Friendly Town committee held a special screening of the Academy Award-winning film Still Alice, about a woman in the early stages of dementia, as part of its awareness campaign of the issue.
