Dementia Friends is a growing movement that started in the United Kingdom. It was

developed with the goal of creating awareness in communities about what

dementia is, the many ways it is manifested, and how people can respond and help when

they encounter someone who seem confused. 

A Dementia Friend can be anyone in the community. One does not need to have any

medical background or any association with dementia to become a Dementia Friend. All

they need is the desire to help and make a difference, which is powerful for those living with any dementia related disease.

Aging Together encourages everyone to become a Dementia Friend simply by

attending one free informal session where they will learn tips on how to identify and help someone with dementia. Let’s

make our entire region Dementia Friendly!
