Dementia Friends

Dementia Friends is a community initiative that aims to raise awareness and understanding of dementia. It provides information about what dementia is and how it can affect individuals, helping people recognize the condition’s realities. By becoming a Dementia Friend, individuals learn ways to support those living with dementia, promoting more inclusive and understanding communities. The program encourages small, practical actions—like being patient or gentle when interacting with someone with dementia—ultimately fostering greater kindness and support for affected individuals and their families.
