Dementia Friends Massachusetts Champions Training

As a Dementia Friends Champion, you’ll be trained to lead free, 1-hour Information Sessions that help people understand what dementia is and the simple ways they can make a difference.

Attend a one-time, 3-hour Champion training via Zoom to:

• Experience an Information Session
• Learn to plan and lead your own session
• Access all the materials you need- also available in 9 languages and specialized versions

After becoming a Champion, you can participate in optional quarterly check-ins with fellow Champions across Massachusetts.

Who can be a Champion?

Anyone in Massachusetts — adult or high school student — can become a Dementia Friends Champion. No prior experience is needed.

As a Champion, you commit to leading at least one information session, but you choose:

• When and where to lead sessions
• How long you’d like to stay involved
