At Lorenzo’s House we are driven by dismantling dementia stigma and driving dementia justice. As part of our Annual Youth Summit our young people have begun creating toolkits to dismantle dementia stigma in public.
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.
