advocating for dementia justice

What is NEXTGEN?

NEXTGEN is a global advocacy movement at Lorenzo's House. We are a group of like-minded sons, daughters and children of parents with younger-onset dementia, alongside passionate allies, meeting dementia without silence, shame or invisibility.

Sign up today - and you will be welcomed to the movement and invited to monthly virtual NEXTGEN gatherings the 2nd Thursday of every month at 12pmCT (6pm GMT) and/or 6pmCT.

“NEXTGEN shows that our love is greater than our adversity. Our movement keeps me connected to my mom - transforming pain into purpose, power and change.”

- Francesca, daughter, NEXTGEN member
