Join us to learn how to be a friend to those with dementia!Did you know that June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month? Become a "Dementia Friend" by attending the informational session to learn about this worldwide movement, about living with dementia, and the simple things you can do to support someone living with the disease. The one-hour session will be a discussion led by Dementia Friends Champion, Heather Pender. You’ll learn what dementia is, what it’s like to live with the disease, and some tips for communicating with people who have dementia. Everyone who attends is asked to turn their new understanding of dementia into practical action that can help someone living in your community. The action can be as big or as small as you choose—every action counts! You don’t need to be a dementia expert, or know someone with dementia, to become a Dementia Friend. After you attend the session, you decide about becoming a Dementia Friend: it’s your choice. This informational session is free-of-charge, and registration is not required.
Dementia Friends is a global movement that is changing the way people think, act, and talk about dementia. Developed by the Alzheimer’s Society in the United Kingdom, the Dementia Friends initiative is underway in Minnesota and across the United States. By helping everyone in a community understand what dementia is and how it affects families, each of us can make a difference for people touched by dementia.
