Independence Public Library – Saturday, February 17 (10-11am)
In this 1-hour session, you will learn five key messages about dementia and a bit about what it’s like to live with dementia. You can then turn your understanding into a practical action that can help someone with dementia living in your community. This action can be as big or as small as you choose – because every action counts! The Champion presenter for this session is Jessica Fairbanks. Jessica will also be offering a Dementia Live experience, complete with gear for participants to be able to experience firsthand what it’s like to live with dementia.
