About
Dementia Friends is a global movement to change the way we think, act and talk about dementia. By helping everyone in a community understand what dementia is and how it affects people, each individual can make a difference for people touched by dementia.
Dementia Friends Minnesota is one of three dementia-friendly initiatives supported by Trellis.
Dementia Friends Minnesota trains Dementia Friends Champions in communities across Minnesota to lead Dementia Friends Information Sessions for the general public and private groups.

Using a Whole Community Approach
Every part of a community plays a role in making it dementia-friendly and Dementia Friends Information Sessions make basic information accessible to everyone.
Start a Dementia-Friendly Movement in Your Community
ACT on Alzheimer's, a community-led dementia friendly initiative supported by Trellis, works to prepare our communities for the increasing incidence of dementia.
ACT provides an easy-to-use Dementia Friendly Toolkit and resources to help communities come together to remove the stigma of memory loss and make their communities dementia friendly.
