“Dementia supporters” are supporters who have a correct understanding of dementia, do not have prejudice, and watch over people with dementia and their families. They do what they can, such as sharing what they have learned with friends and family, and trying to understand the feelings of the person with dementia and their family members. If you, a family member, or a friend become dementia… Dementia is a brain disease that can affect anyone. Would you like to know about dementia correctly and become a "dementia supporter" to support people with dementia?
