Dementia Friendly Community
Become a Dementia Friend
A Dementia Friend learns about dementia in a one-hour session and then turns that understanding into action. We all have a part to play in creating dementia friendly communities!
We offer Dementia Friends sessions for groups and individuals throughout our area. We also offer trainings for Dementia Friends Champions, who teach community groups about dementia by leading Dementia Friends Information Sessions.
