Dismantling Dementia Stigma

What is it?

In 2022, Lorenzo’s House youth were exposed to the  Alzheimer’s Disease International STRiDE project, especially dismantling dementia stigma. 

From there the Empowerment PLUS Model emerged and has been a major component of Youth Summit 2023 and 2024 and become a part of the DNA of the Lorenzo’s House community.
