empowering sons, daughters, children of YOD
SUMMIT is designed and led by sons, daughters, and children who have a parent navigating (or who has navigated) younger-onset dementia. It is our worldwide, youth-led event: to heal in community, build connection, learn tools and strategies and advocate for dementia justice.
SUMMIT offers a range of sessions, co-designed and co-led by our Youth Leads & Dementiacators (an 'educator'; expert in the field).

Alongside, a Dementiacator (an 'educator' in the dementia space): an individual who is knowledgable in the dementia space through lived experience and / or field experience with passion for educating others.
