Dementia Friends University
We have partnered with Dementia Friendly Iowa to offer college students our Dementia Friends University program that will increase knowledge and empathy for providing care to people with dementia when you enter the workforce.
Tell us your about your Dementia Friends University training experience:
I really enjoyed this session. I was able to not only learn more about the disease but also how I can help anyone in the community who struggles with dementia.
The session was great and it made me more prepared to be ready and able to help if I witness a situation of an individual living with dementia.
I am going to try and involve my grandma in more activities that my family does. She has dementia and we used to not bring her to stuff because we thought it would be too hard for her.
Become a Dementia Friend and take action to help someone living in your community - a patient, a neighbor, even a grandparent. Big or small, every action counts!
