Making the Bronx Dementia Friendly is a borough-wide movement to build a more compassionate borough, one conversation at a time. This initiative raises awareness, reduces stigma, and promotes community-based action by offering free, one-hour Dementia Friends Information Sessions to individuals, organizations, and institutions throughout the Bronx.
We are training 50 Community Champions to lead Dementia Friends sessions throughout the Bronx and reach 1,250 new Dementia Friends by the end of 2025.
In addition to the hundreds of individuals who have joined the Dementia Friends Bronx movement, we want to recognize the organizations that have stepped up to participate and amplify the DFNY message by becoming Champions!
Each of these partners helps to change the narrative around dementia—promoting inclusion, awareness, and support for individuals living with dementia and those who care for them. Through hosting sessions, and sharing resources, they play a vital role in making communities more dementia friendly and compassionate for all generations.
