S6 E6: Lori La Bey, Founder of Alzheimer Speaks, giving an inclusive voice to everyone affected by Dementia

The View In Your Mirror

Lori La Bey created Alzheimer’s Speaks, an educational, advocacy, and media outlet. Lori was shocked at the lack of resources, products, tools, services, and educational support available to families and professionals when her mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. She left her career of 25 years, as a residential Realtor and became committed to making a difference in shifting dementia care from crisis to comfort around the world. Her goal is to be inclusive of all voices and educate people with the true stories of what is happening within dementia. She has been recognized by Oprah and Maria Shriver for her work. She offers a variety of free resources to educate, empower, connect, and decrease stigmas; helping families and professionals live graciously alongside dementia.

Lori has her foot in so many resources available to all of you as listeners as well:

• Dementia Map global resource directory
• Conscious Caregiving
• Betty the Bald Chicken – Lessons in How to Care (a book for everyone, not just dementia)
• And so many more…
