A Dementia Friend participates in a one-hour Dementia Friends Information Session offered by a Dementia Friends Champion. A Dementia Friend learns five key messages about dementia and learns a bit about what it’s like to live with dementia. They also learn about community resources and basic communication strategies. Then the Dementia Friend turns their understanding into a practical action that can help someone with dementia living in their community. 

This session is offered by Dementia Friends Champion, Jan Schnack with Connections Area Agency on Aging, in Clarinda at Lied Public Library.
