Dementia is a terrifying possibility for many of us as we age. The language we use in modern society to describe people living with this disease is dismissive at best and extremely damaging at worst. This seminar introduces a new perspective on dementia, and explores ways to ease anxieties and embrace positive aspirations for those living with – – or fearing they might one day live with – – this condition. We will focus on some practical steps you can take today to manage the possibility of cognitive changes in your future.
