Dementia Friends is a global movement to change the way people think, act, and talk about dementia. This presentation is an interactive session that teaches participants what dementia is, how it affects people, and how friends and family can stay connected with the people in our lives who are living with dementia.
With knowledge and awareness, each of us can help our communities become safer and more welcoming.
