Wellness Committee Workshop for Alzheimer Month

Looking for help in growing your ability to be able to support those living in the community experiencing Dementia?

Please join the Wellness Committee on Sunday January 15 after church, when the Durham Region Alzheimer Society presents “Dementia Friendly Communities”.

With over 11,000 Canadians living with dementia, this group has developed tools and resources to give us the knowledge and confidence to support and include those who are affected. Topics to be covered include understanding dementia, the signs and symptoms, how to interact and communicate as well as environmental considerations including accessibility.

This brief session, runs approximately one hour, starting at noon in the Founders Room. Coffee and muffins will be provided to keep your hunger at bay. If you know others in the community who may be interested in learning about this, please invite them to attend. All are welcome.
