Please list any comments or feedback about the Dementia Friends Session that you would like to share.

The realization that there are still healthy and functional segments of the brain of a individual living with dementia is important. Keeping active and stimulated is still important, for both the patient and caregiver. Accepting the disease as being progressive and adapting is important;alongside with living your best life still. The brain is the most important organ and I do agree with diet and activities that promote brain health and possibly being a preventive measure. It can also be very frightening when one may realize that their brain activity is "not right"
