Dementia Friends Program
Date/Time: Tuesday, Sept. 23rd at 6pm

Barb White from Dementia Friends Ohio will be here to teach us about the organization, living with dementia and the simple things you can do to support someone living with the disease. Registration is required. Call 330-534-3512 ext-2 to sign up.
Living well with a dementia diagnosis is possible. With the rate of diagnosis increasing dramatically across the country, reducing stigma, addressing myth and misinformation, and supporting individuals' purpose and ongoing participation is the work of all community members.
Attendees will explore:
- What dementia is and how it affects daily life
- Effective tips for successful communication with people living with dementia, and
- Relationship-building strategies that honor the individual living with dementia and their care partners
