Is your business or organisation dementia-aware? Do you know the symptoms to look out for? Do you know if you have members of staff caring for or affected by dementia?
Alive supports businesses and organisations outside of the care sector to develop a deeper understanding of dementia, and how it can affect their members and workforce.

Empowering Your Workforce: Inclusivity
As businesses evolve and strive for greater inclusivity, one crucial aspect often overlooked is the growing number of employees, clients, and customers affected by dementia. One in two of us will be affected by dementia in our lifetime, either by caring for someone with the condition, developing it ourselves, or both. With dementia affecting individuals across various stages of life, it is essential for organisations to invest in dementia awareness training.
Why Your Organisation Needs Dementia Training
Dementia awareness training equips your team with the knowledge and skills needed to interact empathetically and effectively with individuals experiencing dementia. From a business perspective, having a dementia-savvy workforce can significantly reduce misunderstandings, enhance communication, and foster an inclusive environment that values and respects individuals affected by dementia.
Learning Outcomes
Improved Communication Skills
Enhanced Customer Understanding
Boosted Morale and Wellbeing
Reduced Risk of Discrimination
“We didn’t fully know what dementia was prior to Alive’s training. The sessions have had a real impact on our staff who now understand that it is so much more than just memory problems. Through conversations it has become clear some staff have caring roles and dementia is really affecting them and their families. It’s enabled us all to have a deeper knowledge of what dementia is and isn’t and how we can support our staff better.” – Stephen Dickinson, Senior Partner, Womble Bond Dickinson.
