Are you interested in supporting people living with dementia in your community?
This free information session will provide an overview of the impact of dementia on the person and their families.
The session will then discuss what a dementia friendly community looks like and how we can all take steps to become more dementia friendly.
An important start is for everyone in the community to become a dementia friend.
Becoming a dementia friend is quick and easy and shows your support for people living with dementia and their families. We can all make a difference.
The first workshop is on Thursday, August 23, and is entitled “Recently Diagnosed with Dementia”.
The second workshop is on Tuesday, September 4, and is entitled “Dementia Friendly Communities”.
