DEMENTIA FRIENDS - FOR INDIVIDUALS
1-hour virtual session is all it takes to make you a Dementia Friend!
|
Dementia Friends is offered quarterly, and usually virtually, by Aging Together for individuals. The goal is to share information about what dementia is, how it might be manifested by a person living with dementia, and how you might be able to help or communicate with someone you encounter who has dementia. We encourage everyone in our 5-county region to become a Dementia Friend which will support the growing population of those living with dementia, and those who care for them.

DEMENTIA FRIENDly Workplace - FOR businesses
Dementia Friendly Workplace training is an initiative of Aging together as part of a greater movement both in Virginia and the country. Aging Together works under the umbrella of Dementia Friendly Central Virginia of which we are a member. Dementia Friendly Communities helps your business be comfortable and prepared when those living with dementia visit their organization. In return you open up your business to a greater population who may find it difficult to participate in their communities otherwise, and so have a propensity to stay home along with their caregivers. It's a win-win.
The Dementia Friendly Initiative is intended for any businesses or organizations in the community that are open to the public. Typical sessions last about an hour. Join the movement!
