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.

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.
