BE A DEMENTIA FRIEND

Join a growing movement of people like you who are helping fellow community members living with dementia. A little support can make a big difference in their lives. 

 

What Makes You a Dementia Friend?

You will become a Dementia Friend by attending this one-hour information 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.

What Happens at the Information Session?

This session is a discussion led by Dementia Friends Champions. It is not a training session. You will learn what dementia is, what it's like to live with the disease, and some tips for communication with people who have dementia.

Flower Planting & Garden Dedication

Following the Dementia Friends Info Session, stay to plant a flower in the garden beds at the YMCA as a promise to be kind to fellow community members affected by dementia.

 

There is no cost to attend this session.

Please RSVP by Monday, June 10 by calling (320) 759-4923.
