Feb 15, 2023

Take part in a free 2.5 hour Zoom training to become a Dementia Friends Champion! This training will give you the knowledge and materials you need to lead your own Dementia Friends information session for your family, friends, colleagues or others in your community. Adults and high school students in Massachusetts are eligible to train as Champions. Our program is available in nine languages.

An Information Session is a virtual or face-to-face session that lasts approximately one hour and is run by a Dementia Friends Champion. It covers the five key messages
everyone should know about dementia through activities and discussion. The goal of the Dementia Friends Information Session is to help community members understand
dementia and the small things they can do to make a difference for people living with dementia.

Two training dates are currently available – choose the one that you prefer!

Dementia Friends is a global public awareness program that helps everyone in a community learn about dementia, how it affects people, and the simple things that we can all do to make a difference. Help bring awareness to those around you! To learn more about Dementia Friends, watch this 2-minute video.
