Dementia Friends is a global movement that is changing the way people think, act and talk about dementia. Developed by the Alzheimer’s Society in the United Kingdom and adopted by the U.S., the Dementia Friends initiative is now in Idaho. By helping everyone in a community understand what dementia is and how it affects people, each of us can make a difference for people touched by dementia and reduce the stigma surrounding dementia.

This project focuses on enhancing the quality of life for persons with dementia and their caregivers. The project strengthens dementia capability for service providers, public, family caregivers, and education programs.
