Lessons for Living: Become a Dementia Friend

Thursday, November 12 | 10-11 am

Learn simple, powerful ways to support those with dementia in your community. More than 7 million Americans have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, and many more live with other forms of dementia that impact their independence and well-being. This training allows participants to become a Dementia Friend – someone who understands what it’s like to live with dementia and knows simple, practical ways to offer support.

Lessons for Living is a free webinar series from the U of I Extension. Attendees will meet at the Library and watch the webinar together.

Adults. Please register.
