Fresh off the impactful “A Journey Through Dementia Minds” event, Region IV Area Agency on Aging brings you this special holiday presentation. “Go Beyond Survival: Creating Happy Holidays”, a virtual event, will help you understand how best to support a loved one with a dementia diagnosis during the holiday season.

 

Go Beyond Survival: Creating Happy Holidays is an inspiring holiday themed video presentation from people living with dementia. Afterwards, join the presenters in a post-performance talk back. Engage in an open and honest dialogue with the performers and hear from those living with dementia on how best to support your loved ones during this joyous and sometimes stressful time.

 

Be ready to be inspired and face the holiday season with confidence.

 

People living with dementia are transforming the worldview of neurocognitive disorders nationwide. There is a growing population of persons living with dementia who are aware of their diagnosis and are speaking out. The goal of this event is to start to abolish the stigma associated with living with dementia, to give voice to the lived experience and advocate for full inclusion of persons living with dementia.

 

The one-hour interactive event will be held virtually via Zoom on Tuesday, November 16th at 2 PM
