Welcome to Dementia Supportive Communities: Everyday Skills That Make a Difference.
This short course is for community members, leaders, and workers who want to understand dementia and help make life better for people affected by it.
Whether you joined out of curiosity, care, or because it’s part of your role, this course will give you clear tools, real stories, and useful examples. You’ll build both confidence and empathy as you learn.
You’ll discover how dementia affects people and families, what you can do to reduce barriers, and how small actions – when many people take them – can change whole communities.
By the end, you won’t just know more about dementia. You’ll know how to help create communities where everyone belongs.
