About the event
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.
This session is led by the DFF Faith Community Committee. Their goal is to facilitate continued participation for those living with dementia in their faith communities through support and dissemination of resources.
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
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. Dementia Friendly Fairfax initiative started through a partnership with Goodwin House, Insight Memory Care Center and Fairfax Area Commission on Aging and Fairfax Area Agency on Aging.
