You are invited to take part in Dementia Action Week 2018 and attend a Dementia Friends Information Session.

At this point it is worth clarifying what becoming a Dementia Friend means. It is not about befriending someone with Dementia. People that attend are asked to just take one small action, be that telling someone on social media they attended the course; wearing their pin they receive on the day; or being more patient in the community.

The session last approximately 45-60 minutes. I will provide information that will enable you to understand the 5 key messages the Alzheimer's Society would like everyone across the country to understand; and also to have a greater understanding of how dementia affects someone living with the disease. Simply, being a Dementia Friend is understanding a bit more about dementia, and the little ways you can help.
