What is Dementia Friends?

In these sessions, we discuss:
Six key messages about dementia
Dementia risk reduction
How dementia differs from normal aging
Effective communication strategies
Practical actions to help people who are living with dementia in our communities
Bring Dementia Friends to your community as a Champion!
As a Dementia Friends champion, you will learn how to facilitate the Dementia Friends Information Session, which is fully scripted to support all community members in feeling comfortable bringing dementia education to their communities. We’ll provide ample resources and support to help you spread positive dementia awareness whenever you see a need!
