Talk about dementia

The more people know about dementia and how they can be involved in this movement the bigger the impact will be. Your role is to help raise awareness for dementia and share information to reduce the stigma that still surrounds dementia. As a community champion you engage with as many stakeholders as possible, speak out openly and encourage others to do likewise.

What you can do

  • See which community assets you have in your community and which groups could be open for a conversation about dementia
  • Engage with councils, businesses, service providers, charities, social clubs to promote dementia inclusivity
  • Raise awareness of dementia by organising awareness sessions in your community
  • Share knowledge and learning of how to be dementia inclusive
  • Share what you are doing for dementia inclusivity through media, such as Twitter, local press
  • Challenge stereotypes and negative attitudes about dementia
