Dementia Friendly Community training is a Social Engagement program offered by the Orange County Department on Aging. The goal is to educate the greater community to recognize and support people living with dementia, providing them an opportunity to live a good quality of life and be a valued member of Age Friendly Orange County. The Department on Aging collaborated with multiple community partners to update the original Dementia Friendly Business training program. The new training called Dementia Friendly Community incorporates current strategies from the CDC’s Healthy Brain Initiative Roadmap adopted by the 2022 Dementia-Capable NC Strategic Plan update. The new Dementia Friendly Community training program now expands its reach to all segments of the community including neighborhood networks and college campuses to create more Dementia Friendly Partners.
