How to Become a Dementia Activist

Being a dementia activist means raising awareness, fighting stigma, and advocating for better care and support for those affected by dementia. It involves educating communities, influencing policy, and sharing personal stories to humanize the condition. A dementia activist speaks up for those who may not be able to, pushing for dignity, understanding, and inclusion. They work to create a more compassionate world where people with dementia are respected and supported. Whether through campaigns, public speaking, or community work, dementia activists play a vital role in transforming fear and misunderstanding into empathy and action. Their work empowers change, one voice at a time.
