National Council of Dementia Minds

Member

National Council of Dementia Minds (NCDM) is proud to be the first national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded and governed by persons living with dementia. NCDM includes individuals with all types of mild cognitive impairment or dementia, including younger-onset dementias. NCDM challenges societal stigmas along with offering hope-filled strategies and resources to support living well with dementia. NCDM’s mission comes to life through the following four program areas:

• • Dementia Minds Groups. NCDM develops and sustains peer support groups that empower individuals with dementia to connect, share experiences, and support one another. NCDM also provides opportunities for people with dementia or mild cognitive impairment to come together in larger settings through NCDM “Meetings of the Minds.”
  • Educational Opportunities. NCDM offers interactive virtual programming tailored to audiences of individuals living with dementia, care partners, service providers, and other stakeholders.
  • Resources. NCDM develops and shares practical resources to enhance daily life and address real-world challenges that people with dementia face.
  • Lived Experience Expertise. Dedicated to ensuring that people with dementia have a powerful voice in both personal and public conversations, NCDM participates in co-researcher opportunities to impart its lived experience expertise.
