Dementia Friendly TCU

Our organization’s purpose is to raise awareness on TCU’s campus about dementia and its impact on the individual, family, and community. We work diligently to change the social stigma that surrounds dementia and the diseases associated with it through advocacy, education, and community involvement. We have community representatives on our executive team who share their personal experiences with dementia and guide our team’s efforts. Through Dementia Friendly Fort Worth, our organization offers unique volunteer opportunities and an opportunity to receive a Dementia Practitioner Certification. We are proud to be the only school in Texas with a Dementia Friendly affiliation. Every day, we are actively working to end the stigma that surrounds dementia.
