There are three one-hour sessions to choose from, including one for Spanish speakers.

Each session provides attendees with the opportunity to learn more about dementia — what it is, what it’s like to live with it, the most common types and tips for communicating with people with dementia.

Registration is limited to the first 50 participants.
