A Dementia Friends Champion is a volunteer who informs community groups about dementia by leading Dementia Friends information sessions. To become a champion:
- Attend one 3-hour Dementia Friends Champion training
- Lead an hour-long Dementia Friends information session once per month
- These will either be with groups that the Champion works with directly or at events scheduled by the Regional Coordinators
By becoming a Champion, you can:
- Connect with a group of leaders in our region that is working to develop an age- and dementia-friendly community
- Interact with other like-minded individuals
- Increase your knowledge of dementia and ability to interact with people living with cognitive changes
- Enhance public speaking skills
- Maintain your wellbeing
