Educational Panel – Videos Raising Voices of Those Living with Dementia Dementia ChatsTM was created in 2012, to educate people living with dementia, and their care partners including family, friends, professionals, and advocates. Dementia ChatsTM positions our panelists to be the true experts. They are those diagnosed with some form of dementia.

Our panelists vary from program to program, depending on their schedules. New voices are always welcome to join us. Lori La Bey, the founder of Alzheimer’s Speaks facilitates Dementia Chats. She learned how essential it was to listen to those diagnosed. Her mother lived for 30 years with dementia. Lori found that people living with dementia had great insights and creative ideas for care, and felt their voices needed to be lifted. Those diagnosed show us how to be inclusive in new ways.

Our Panelists become spokespersons for themselves and others living with dementia positioning them as advocates, and many say it gives them a new sense of purpose and pride which allows them to continue to live a dignified and purpose-filled life. Learn
