Dementia Friends - Chicago Hyde Park Village

HomeDementia Friends

Dementia Friendly Hyde Park is pleased to connect you with the Dementia Friend program. A Dementia Friend learns about dementia and then turns that understanding into action. We all have a part to play in creating dementia friendly communities! The training is simple. Click on the logo to learn more about the initiative.

Local training (currently via Zoom)

Attend an engaging and interactive one-hour session led by Dementia Champion Andrew McGettigan, who visits someone living with early-onset dementia through the Village Visitor program at Chicago Hyde Park Village. Learn about the types of dementia, what is normal aging vs. Alzheimer's disease, and find out about a variety of resources.

Online training

You just have to watch a minimum of two videos, though feel free to watch more! It can take as little as 10 minutes and is one concrete way you can help our community to feel welcoming to people with dementia. Once you have completed the training, you can request a certificate by providing your email. Please make sure to send a copy of your certificate to dorothy.pytel@chpv.org so that we can keep track of all of the Dementia Friends in Hyde Park!
