The purpose of Dementia Inclusive Businesses Strategies (DIBS) project is to increase the number of businesses that have received dementia-inclusive training. Not only does this make good business sense, considering that individuals are attached to families and friends who might also engage with these businesses, but this approach creates a more inclusive and accommodating community for members of our population with certain vulnerabilities.
