About Dementia Friends

Alzheimer’s Society’s Dementia Friends programme is the biggest ever initiative to change people’s perceptions of dementia. It aims to transform the way the nation thinks, acts and talks about the condition.

Whether you attend a face-to-face Information Session or watch the online video, Dementia Friends is about learning more about dementia and the small ways you can help. From telling friends about the Dementia Friends programme to visiting someone you know living with dementia, every action counts.

I work in health and social care, and the lack of understanding and actual education within professionals, is shockingly poor. I am alway educating people, and helping them to understand that this is not just 'forgetfulness', and there are sadly more areas that impact an individual with Dementia. I am very passionate about people receiving the correct support, and outstanding care provisions, and wish we could do more. by rebecca heater
