Guide: Brian LeBlanc
Join us for a conversation about how to make the holidays the best they can be not only for persons living with dementia, but for their Care Partners and for each of us.
Brian will share his thoughts on things like: what are some of the most meaningful gifts you can give; how can holiday traditions have a positive effect on individuals; and what are well-intentioned things that people do during the holidays that add to the stigmatization created around elders and those living with dementia.
| REGISTRATION OPEN This Holiday Season, Give the Gift that Keeps Giving: 45 minutes / FREE Registration closes 1 hour prior to the event |
