Demystifying Dementia - Dementia Friends Information Session

This interactive session walks you through the essentials of understanding dementia. Through activities and group discussion, you'll learn the five core facts everyone should know about dementia, pick up practical communication strategies, and recognize the ten warning signs of Alzheimer's disease. The session also gives you a window into what daily life looks like for someone living with dementia or supporting a loved one through it. The real goal here is turning what you learn into action. After becoming a Dementia Friend, you're invited to identify one small way you can help someone in your community who's affected by dementia. It doesn't need to be complicated—any gesture makes a difference. This program is presented by the Virginia Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services and is open to seniors.
