Description

Dementia Friends is a global movement that is changing the way people think, act, and talk about dementia.  Developed by the Alzheimer’s Society in the United Kingdom, the Dementia Friends movement is now spreading throughout Texas. More than 400,000 Texans have Alzheimer’s or some form of dementia. By helping everyone in the community understand what dementia is and how it affects people, each of us can make a difference for people touched by dementia. A Dementia Friend learns about dementia and then turns that understanding into action. We all have a part to play in creating dementia friendly communities.
