- Format: On line virtual session via Zoom
- Cost: The training is free and open to the public.
- Topics: During this training, you will take part in a Dementia Friends information session and be counted as a part of the growing number of “Dementia Friends” worldwide. This training will also equip you with the knowledge and materials needed to become a volunteer “Champion,” which means that you will be able to facilitate your own virtual or in-person Dementia Friends Information Session with members of your community. High school students and adults are able to become trained as Champions.
