Community Events
Throughout the year, I offer occasional community events designed to welcome people living with dementia and their care partners. These events offer a safe space to connect with others who understand the challenges of living with dementia.
Creating Joy in Memory Care:
Meaningful Visits
Make the most of your visits to a loved one living in memory care. I'll be sharing tips for creating joy and sharing moments that matter to both of you. There's no cost to attend.

To Whom I May Concern
Sharing Group
This free 10 week program brings together people diagnosed with brain changes (such as Mild Cognitive Impairment, Alzheimer's Disease, or other types of dementia). Participants support each other while sharing their experiences and perspectives on living with brain change. Then, the facilitator will help them share their combined story with an audience of their choosing in order to educate others on what is most important to those living with dementia.
This is your chance for others to hear your voice and to make a difference, both in your future care and in how the community welcomes people facing these challenges.​
