Have you ever thought you’d like to record some of your life experiences for your family and future generations but don’t know how to get started? While writing about one’s life can be therapeutic and leave a wonderful legacy, the task can be daunting! This program will help you to decide if you want to write about or record your story, explore common pitfalls, and give you some ideas for getting started.

Insights on Aging: Connection, Communication, and Dementia

When someone receives a diagnosis of dementia, it affects not just the person being diagnosed but the family and community around them. As dementia progresses, it can be harder to communicate with the person living with dementia as language and processing abilities diminish as well. This program will provide information and tips for caregivers, friends,and community members who wish to cultivate positive interactions and enhance connection to those living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.
