A Dementia Ally is someone who supports, and advocates for, people living with dementia and their caregivers. This training will equip you to share the steps that can be taken to reduce the risk of dementia, or to slow down the rate of its progression and enable you to educate and support citizens in your community, or colleagues in your workplace, to reduce their risk of dementia and to improve the lives of people with dementia and their families.
