National Council of Dementia Minds is proud to be the first national 501(c)(3) organization founded and governed by people living with dementia. We include individuals with all types of dementia or mild cognitive impairment, including younger-onset dementias.

Our groundbreaking mission is to develop and support a national corps of Dementia Minds groups—composed of people living with dementia—who foster education and dialogue among individuals with neurocognitive disorders, families, care partners, healthcare providers, researchers, and policymakers.

NCDM stands out by challenging stigma and offering hope-filled strategies and resources to support living well with dementia. Along with peer support, we provide education led by people living with dementia and create resources that empower individuals, care partners, and others by demonstrating that life with dementia can be lived fully—with meaning, purpose, connection and joy.

We are dedicated ensuring that people with dementia have a powerful voice in both personal and public conversations. We believe in the principle "Nothing about us without us," because we are Lived Experience Experts.

Since our inception in 2021, National Council of Dementia Minds has provided educational opportunities for tens of thousands of people across all 50 states and 14 countries through our programs--all at no cost to participants.
