forMemory's primary project is reach out to the public.  Through the use of curriculum, resource materials and a speakers bureau, forMemory provides training on early -onset dementia.  Congregation and civic group members join with their peer to learn about dementia in a setting that does not stigmatize.  They overcome fear and denial in order to take appropriate steps for wellness. and for integrating spiritual, social , intellectual, emotional, vocational and physical well-being.  This can lead to broader advocacy efforts for better systems for healthcare with attention given to memory issues and cross-generations research.
