(For Students Only)
To create a more compassionate and supportive society, it becomes
imperative to sensitize every young person about dementia.
By actively involving students, we have the opportunity to not only raise
awareness about dementia but also enhance the quality of care provided
and eliminate the stigma surrounding the disease.
Educating and engaging the younger generation will foster a culture of
empathy and support, ultimately leading to a more inclusive and
empathetic society for those affected by dementia.
DIA will provide support, opportunities & guidance for career growth
and development to all DemChamps
