Dementia Friendly Training - Register by June 15

Sign up for this 1-hour training to be part of the movement to ensure that people living with dementia have the resources and support they need to live independently and well for as long as possible. This will help you better understand and communicate more effectively with people suffering from dementia. 

Registration is required by Wednesday, June 15, 10am.

Every 65 seconds someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer's. People with dementia aren’t all clustered in nursing homes being cared for by specialists. In fact, most of them live within the same community the rest of us do.

Valley Village believes that by educating ourselves, we can make it easier for those suffering with dementia, their caregivers, and all the people with whom they interact. We currently have almost 30% of our membership trained. If we can get to 50%, we can call Valley Village a Dementia-Friendly organization, according to Valley Program on Aging Services.
When:
Thursday, June 16, 2022, 10:00 AM until 11:00 AM
