"Dementia is not a natural part of ageing" is just one of the 5 key messages of Dementia Friends. I am pleased to announce a series of LIVE & ONLINE Dementia Friends Webinars throughout June & July to encourage people in the community to learn more about the condition, explore how businesses can become more accessible and to help raise awareness within their community.
The popularity for our first session was overwhelming with over 60 registered attendees that meant we were fully booked with 48 hours to go! The newly announced virtual events will be taking place on:
- Wednesday 20th May at 3pm – *FULLY BOOKED*
- Thursday 4th June at 3pm– LIMITED AVAILABILITY
- Thursday 18th June at 3pm
- Wednesday 1st July at 3pm
- Friday 17th July at 3pm
- Wednesday 29th July at 3pm
Hosted by Hallmark Care Homes CRM, Billericay DAA Chairman and Deputy-Chair of the Essex County Dementia Action Alliance, Carl Roberts, during this one hour session you will come away with a greater understanding of dementia.
You will learn how we can all contribute to make our community more dementia friendly, and get insights into how businesses can become more accessible to those members of our communities both living with and caring for loved ones with dementia.
If we aren’t directly affected by Dementia in our own family, we will almost certainly know someone who is.
"Too many people affected by dementia feel that society fails to understand the condition they live with. "
Through Dementia Friends Information Sessions like the one we are hosting, we are helping to raise awareness and understanding, so that people living with dementia can continue to live in the way they want and truly be a part of the community.
Attendees can join via a web browser or by downloading the Microsoft Teams app. This will be an interactive session so apart from your laptop, smart phone or tablet, all you will need is a pen and some paper.
