National Council of Dementia Minds (NCDM) is proud to be the first national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded and governed by persons living with dementia. 

We are dedicated to transforming the dementia care landscape by centering the voices and experiences of people living with dementia and offering innovative, hope-filled strategies and resources to support living well with dementia. Our vision is to transform the worldview of living with a Neurocognitive Disorder (NCD).

We believe in the principle "Nothing about us without us," because we are the experts of our own experiences. We embrace the diversity that exists among people living with dementia and include individuals with all types of mild cognitive impairment or dementia, including younger-onset dementias.

To achieve our vision, our Dementia Minds groups provide opportunities for dialogue and education among people living with dementia, families, care partners, healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers, and communities to positively transform the experience of living with a neurocognitive disorder.

Since we began in 2019, we have provided educational opportunities for more than 20,000 people across all 50 states and 14 countries through our programs
