Community Education Toolkit
Dementia Australia’s free, interactive video toolkit designed for community groups interested in learning about brain health and dementia.
How it works
The Community Education Toolkit is an interactive video designed for community groups. It’s just like any other video, but you can choose what to watch next with a simple click.
Host a group viewing
Anyone can host a community group session with the Toolkit. You can play the video from this webpage, and there’s a Host Guide below to walk you through the process.
Come and learn together
Communities can use the free, accessible Toolkit to learn about dementia together, including topics like:
- Practical tips to keep your brain healthy
- Understanding dementia and diagnosis
- Promoting community and reducing stigma
