If you are passionate about your local community and want to make it more dementia friendly, then this session is for you.

You will understand common myths and stereotypes and discuss the many ways people can live well with dementia everyday. You will learn what a dementia friendly community is and how it benefits the whole community. You will explore practical examples and identify a process for 'getting started' as an individual or as a community, to enable your community to be dementia-friendly.

People living with dementia and their families are encouraged to attend.

These workshops are supported by Wingecarribee Shire Council.
