Support, sharing, and growing through dementia education Many of us have been touched by the effects of dementia. Layers Of Dementia was created to offer the opportunity for people to come together and share their experiences, support one another, and learn.                                 Are you curious about the current developments around dementia and brain health? Are you struggling with life balance as you care for a loved one? Are you feeling overwhelmed as you navigate the complex system of support services needed as the dementia progresses? Does the idea of connecting and finding support within a community that shares similar experiences resonate with you? We are offering five Informational Zoom meetings with guest speakers, three Support and Share Zoom meetings to create connections, and two in person gatherings at Soulful Prairies. Come to all or any of the offerings that resonate with you. The Layers of Dementia group will be on the first Thursday of the following months, via Zoom at 12:00PM CST for 45 minutes, unless otherwise noted.
