Faith-based leaders play an integral role in encouraging families to seek a dementia diagnosis and use local support services. Alter's goal is to partner with faith-based organizations anchored in African-American communities to better support families affected by dementia. A dementia-friendly faith-based organization is one that (a) accepts and values people regardless of cognitive abilities; (b) ensures that people living with dementia and their caregivers/care partners are supported through their journey; (c) makes sure that people living with dementia and their caregivers/care partners are spiritually and pastorally supported and nurtured; and (d) encourages participation from families experiencing dementia in their faith community.
