Lessons for Living: Become a Dementia Friend

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.

There are four programs in this series:

August 11: What’s In My Food? Decoding Chemicals and Safety

September 10: Gardening on a Budget

October 13: Fur Real Companionship

November 12: Become a Dementia Friend

Adults. Registration required.
