This 90-minute session begins with a one-hour discussion led by a Dementia Friends Champion. It is not a formal training session.

What You Will Learn:

• What dementia is
• What it’s like to live with dementia
• Tips for communicating with people who have dementia.

Everyone who attends is asked to turn their new understanding of dementia into a 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!

The final 30 minutes focuses on training to become a Dementia Friends Champion. Participants must attend the full 90 minutes to be eligible for this role.
