Tuesday, Oct. 27 | 4:30-6:30 pm
Western Suburb location | Details provided upon RSVP
Join JFCS for a Dementia Friends information session to learn more about dementia and how we can better support people living with dementia and their caregivers.
This interactive session will explore what it’s like to live with dementia, provide practical communication tips, and help participants understand the difference between typical signs of aging and signs of dementia.
What to Expect
The session will introduce the five key messages of Dementia Friends:
Through activities and discussion, you’ll build empathy, learn practical ways to connect with someone living with dementia, and explore how volunteers can support both individuals and their caregivers through companionship and connection.
You’ll also have an opportunity to identify a personal action – big or small – you can take to help support people living with dementia.
Snacks and refreshments will be provided.
This session is open to all JFCS volunteers and those interested in volunteering, whether or not you currently work with older adults. Come learn, connect with other JFCS volunteers, and gain practical tools you can use in your volunteer role and community.
REGISTER HERE to attend and receive the event location a few days before the event.
