"Forget Me Yes" is a dementia mini-campaign that aims to equip children with more comprehensive knowledge of dementia.

Currently, the majority of easily accessible dementia resources are aimed towards adults. Resources targeted to children are difficult to find and only address the surface level information (eg. what is dementia?). This is despite the rising dementia caseload in Singapore and how it strongly impacts children, who become secondary caregivers when a person with dementia is introduced into the household. 

The aim is to answer deeper level questions about dementia, such as:  

- What does it look like when someone has dementia? 

- How do I talk to someone who has dementia? 

- When should I call an adult? 

- How can I help? 

- How can I keep myself and the person with dementia safe? 

This project is a case study and uses information and research from Dementia Singapore. 

The storybook follows a boy named Jake. He is unhappy when his grandmother suddenly moves in with him. His parents are not home most of the day, so Jake has to help take care of his grandmother as her dementia progresses. At the end of the story, Jake realizes he needs to have more empathy and understanding for his grandmother.

By reading the storybook, children are introduced to some key behaviours exhibited by PWDs. The storybook covers not only general forgetfulness and getting lost, but also less commonly discussed behaviours, such as sundowning. 

The roleplay manual teaches children about the KIND method and CARE principles. It goes through how to act when are they comforting a PWD, not only for family members but also for strangers in public places. Children are equipped with warning signs of danger so they know when to stay away and simply alert the authorities, and when it is ok to lend a more personal helping hand.
