Join us for a free, virtual Dementia Friends Session with optional Dementia Friends Champions training – offered twice a month, in both daytime and evening sessions.

Sessions cover the basics of dementia including common types, signs and symptoms, communication tips, community resources, and more. An emphasis on positive messaging and dementia stigma reduction is a key part of the program, designed to reach audiences in all community sectors.

Attendees interested in becoming a Dementia Friend participate for the first 75 minutes. Attendees seeking to become a Dementia Friends Champion participate for the entire 2.5 hours.
A Dementia Friends Champion designation is received after attending the 2.5-hour free, virtual training. It includes a Dementia Friends session as well as additional information, resources and materials needed by Champions to deliver free virtual or in-person Dementia Friends sessions throughout their communities.

PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. Please sign up below.

Dementia Friends is a global, call-to-action movement developed by the Alzheimer’s Society in the United Kingdom and now underway in the United States. The goal is to help everyone in a community understand how dementia impacts individuals and families, and things we can each do to make a difference in the lives of those affected.
