ACT on Alzheimers® is a statewide collaborative that equips communities to support people with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.

Dementia Friends is a global movement to change how we think, act, and talk about dementia. By helping everyone in a community understand what dementia is and how it affects people, each individual can make a difference for people touched by dementia. Trellis operates Dementia Friends Minnesota, training Dementia Friends Champions in communities across Minnesota to lead-free Dementia Friends Information Sessions for the general public and private groups.

The Remember Project works to build a more dementia-capable Minnesota and Wisconsin using the arts. The project presents one-act plays performed by professional actors who bring real issues connected to the care, diagnosis, and experience of dementia to life. Audience members participate in a facilitated conversation about the themes, metaphors, and impact of memory loss depicted in the plays and often experience life-impacting insights and calls to action.
