Supporting Friends and Family with Dementia
1-2 p.m. Wednesday, October 19, on Zoom.
This free one-hour session is a discussion led by a Dementia Friends Champion. You’ll learn what dementia is, what it may be like to live with the disease, and some tips for communicating with people living with dementia. Everyone who attends is asked to turn their new understanding of dementia into a practical action that can help someone living in your community. The action can be as big or as small as you choose—every action counts!
Presenters: Lisa Comes (OACB); Carmen Penedo, SSA/Dementia Friends Mentor Champion; Patricia Henighan, SSA/Dementia Friends Mentor Champion; Lucy Garvin, Community Support Specialist/Dementia Friends Mentor Champion; Jennifer Hudak, SSA Senior Manager/Dementia Friends Champion
