Dementia Friendly Fairfax envisions our community as a place where people living with dementia and their care partners will be able to engage in a variety of activities, be supported in the highest quality of life, and can live independently for as long as possible.

Learn how to become a dementia friend and turn your new understanding of dementia into a practical action that can help someone living in your community.

AFTER PARTICIPATING IN A DEMENTIA FRIENDS SESSION, PARTICIPANTS CAN:
• Describe dementia and know the most common type of dementia
• State the five key messages about dementia
• Explain one approach to effectively communicate with a person with dementia
• Commit to an action as a Dementia Friend in your community

This info session will be held at Insight Memory Care Center in Fairfax and is hosted by the Fairfax Area Agency on Aging.
