Derribando muros, construyendo comunidad

En nuestro reporte anterior te contamos que nos preparábamos para uno de los momentos más importantes del año. Hoy podemos compartirte que ese momento llegó, y que llegó acompañado de nuevas alianzas, un reconocimiento que nos llena de orgullo y herramientas que seguirán al servicio de las familias todo el año.

Alzheimer Aprende y Actúa 2026: "Derribando los Muros de las Demencias"

Septiembre es el Mes Mundial del Alzheimer, y cada año lo vivimos con nuestro evento de difusión y concientización. Este año hablamos de las barreras culturales, emocionales y sociales que impiden que las personas lleguen a un diagnóstico correcto, adecuado y a tiempo.

El evento se realizó de forma híbrida. La jornada presencial tuvo lugar en la alcaldía Benito Juárez y reunió a cerca de 1,000 personas. Nos acompañaron:

  • Paulina Marisela García Olguín, Coordinadora de Envejecimiento Activo y Digno.
  • La Lic. Guadalupe Licibeth, Directora Ejecutiva del INED.
  • El Mtro. Pablo Enrique Yanes Rizo, Secretario de Bienestar e Igualdad Social de la Ciudad de México.

Su presencia refleja algo que buscamos desde hace años: que las demencias estén en la conversación pública y en la agenda de quienes toman decisiones.

La versión virtual contó con la colaboración de 17 expertas, expertos y especialistas en demencias, personas mayores y personas en situación de vulnerabilidad. Entre ellas, la Dra. Adela Hernández Galván, especialista en demencias, y la Dra. Paloma Roa, especialista en neuropsicología. Todas las charlas y materiales son gratuitos. Además, nuestra página web ya está disponible de forma gratuita y abierta a todo el público durante todo el año, en aprendeyactua.alzmx.org.

Una red que sigue creciendo

La Red de Apoyo Alzheimer, que lanzamos en el periodo anterior, siguió creciendo. A ella se suma ahora un nuevo proyecto: el Directorio AAA. Este directorio reúne expertos, sitios de interés, grupos de apoyo e instituciones, para que las familias tengan un lugar confiable donde buscar ayuda. Sabemos que uno de los momentos más difíciles tras un diagnóstico es no saber a dónde acudir, y queremos que esa respuesta esté al alcance de todos.

Un reconocimiento a nuestra transparencia

En 2026 obtuvimos la Acreditación en Institucionalidad y Transparencia (AIT). Para nosotros es más que un logro institucional: es una forma de decirte que cada peso que nos confías se administra con orden, responsabilidad y rendición de cuentas.

Lo que viene

En los próximos meses buscaremos la certificación de CONFÍO y ampliaremos nuestro equipo administrativo y operativo. Queremos seguir creciendo con bases sólidas, para acompañar a más personas que viven con demencia y a quienes las cuidan.

Gracias

Nada de esto sería posible sin ti. Cada donativo se convierte en información gratuita, en acompañamiento para las familias y en una voz más que ayuda a derribar el miedo y el estigma que todavía rodean a las demencias. Seguimos, juntos, un muro a la vez.

ENGLISH VERSION

Breaking Down Walls, Building Community

In our last report, we told you we were preparing for one of the most important moments of the year. Today we can share that the moment has arrived, bringing new partnerships, a recognition we are deeply proud of, and tools that will keep serving families all year long.

Alzheimer Aprende y Actúa 2026: "Breaking Down the Walls of Dementia"

September is World Alzheimer's Month, and every year we mark it with our awareness and outreach event, Alzheimer Aprende y Actúa (Alzheimer: Learn and Act). This year, we focused on the cultural, emotional, and social barriers that keep people from reaching a correct, appropriate, and timely diagnosis.

The event took place in a hybrid format. The in-person day was held in the Benito Juárez borough of Mexico City and brought together nearly 1,000 people. We were joined by:

  • Paulina Marisela García Olguín, Coordinator of Active and Dignified Aging.
  • Guadalupe Licibeth, Executive Director of INED.
  • Pablo Enrique Yanes Rizo, Mexico City's Secretary of Welfare and Social Equality.

Their presence reflects something we have worked toward for years: bringing dementia into public conversation and onto the agenda of decision-makers.

The virtual program featured 17 experts and specialists in dementia, older adults, and vulnerable populations. Among them were Dr. Adela Hernández Galván, a dementia specialist, and Dr. Paloma Roa, a neuropsychology specialist. All talks and materials are free, and our website is now open to the public, free of charge, all year round at aprendeyactua.alzmx.org.

A Network That Keeps Growing

The Alzheimer Support Network, launched during our last reporting period, continued to grow. We have now added a new project: the AAA Directory. It brings together experts, useful resources, support groups, and institutions, so families have a trusted place to look for help. One of the hardest moments after a diagnosis is not knowing where to turn, and we want that answer to be within everyone's reach.

Recognized for Our Transparency

In 2026, we earned the Accreditation in Institutional Strength and Transparency (AIT). For us, this is more than an institutional milestone. It is our way of showing you that every contribution you entrust to us is managed with order, responsibility, and accountability.

What's Next

In the coming months, we will pursue CONFÍO certification and expand our administrative and operational team. We want to keep growing on solid foundations, so we can support more people living with dementia and those who care for them.

Thank You

None of this would be possible without you. Every donation becomes free information, support for families, and one more voice helping to break down the fear and stigma that still surround dementia. Together, we keep going, one wall at a time.
