Dementia supporter caravan is a business that promotes the spread of correct understanding of dementia.
In Yokohama City, we would like to create a town where people can live with peace of mind even if they have dementia together with "dementia supporters" and "caravan mates".

Dementia Supporters

Dementia supporters are "supporters" who correctly understand dementia, warmly watch people and their families with dementia, and work as much as they can. By attending the "Dementia Supporter Training Course", you can become a dementia supporter.
