Become a Dementia Friend

Tuesday, February 22nd
12:00pm

Join others during this one-hour virtual information session to learn what dementia is, what it’s like to live with the disease, and some tips for communicating with people who have dementia.

Dementia Friends is a global movement that is changing the way people think, act, and talk about dementia. By helping everyone in a community understand what dementia is and how it affects families, each of us can make a difference for people touched by dementia.
