Your Community

Dementia can be a lonely experience. When talking with people who live with dementia from across the state, they shared how important it was to find a community made up of those people who understand the experience of dementia..

A community could be based on the type of dementia you are experiencing. A community could also be based on where you are on the journey.

The Lt. Governor’s 2019 Listening Tour was the driving force of this website. During that tour she heard from several communities which expressed feeling underrepresented with the general dementia resources available.

We have begun with the groups from her tour but want this resource to grow overtime. By sharing your experiences, you could help another on this journey. Let us know if you don’t see your community represented. Email us at info@ilbrainhealth.org.
