Below are two upcoming Dementia Dialogue sessions we want to highlight for you. Dementia Dialogues are interactive learning opportunities for family caregivers to connect with one another and increase their knowledge about dementia and caregiving skills. These sessions are facilitated to allow caregivers to share their experiences and take home practical information.
