Dementia Conversations In-Person

June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month. Join presenter Laurie Weinreb-Welch, Food, Families and Health Educator from the Penn State Extension for a talk about an important issue concerning older adults. Conversations with family members showing signs of dementia can be challenging and uncomfortable. Fear or lack of awareness that may accompany these conversations can result in delays that have serious consequences for the entire family. This program will cover common decisions that are difficult to discuss with loved ones and tips that can assist in making those important conversations less stressful.

We will discuss various topics such as driving, doctor visits, legal and financial planning. She will be also be available to answer your questions on the topic.

For questions about the topic, please contact Sheila at showarth@jvbrown.edu

This program is one of the many ways Pennsylvania Public Libraries support the PA Forward Initiative by providing civic, social, and health literacy opportunities for learning.
