Living well with a dementia diagnosis is possible. With the rate of diagnosis increasing dramatically in the state of Ohio and across the country, reducing stigma, addressing myths and misinformation, and supporting individual purpose and community participation is the work of all of us. Become a Dementia Friend and discover the important role you and your organization can play in building the dementia-inclusive community. In this workshop, facilitated by Barb White and hosted by the Arts & Culture Inclusion Council, you will not only gain a deeper understanding of dementia but also learn how to implement flexible, responsive communication and environmental strategies for continuing to engage those living with a dementia diagnosis (and their care partners) in the work of your organization and in a life of purpose and participation. Who should attend? Staff of nonprofits, venues, businesses, financial institutions, governmental agencies, leadership organizations, and anyone who wish to learn more about ensuring a safe and friendly space for those living with dementia and their care partners.
