This guide is a practical community resource supporting groups and communities looking to address and reduce the stigma of dementia, and become more inclusive with their programs and activities. It walks you through seven key stages involved in adapting an existing program or creating something new, starting with building relationships and community engagement, moving through convening community conversations, visioning and planning, and tying it together with sections focused on implementation, evaluation, and sustainability.

A summary of the action guide can be found here.
This guide provides a road map for building out dementia-inclusive programming in community. Its goal is to heighten awareness of dementia as a community issue, to facilitate more programs and services becoming dementia-inclusive, and ultimately, to shift the paradigm towards a society that views people with lived experience of dementia as full social citizens and valuable contributors to their community.
