Dementia Friendly America, a national collaborative just launched the Dementia Friends program in the United States. Dementia Friends is a global initiative that began in the United Kingdom and aims to empower and educate individuals about dementia.
Dementia Friends is designed to raise awareness about dementia and educate individuals and communities about how they can best support and interact with people living with dementia.
The program accomplishes this via an online training that includes a series of short videos and encourages people to commit to take action. A brief introductory video about the aim of the program is available.
Become a Dementia Friend by going to www.DementiaFriendsUSA.org. From there you can become a Dementia Friend by committing to an activity that will help someone in your community with dementia.
