Dementia Friends Inclusive Libraries Resources for Patrons In-Person
Presented by Morley Library's Dementia Friends Champions Librarians, Lisa and Louise.
Dementia Friends is a global, call-to-action movement developed by the Alzheimer’s Society in the United Kingdom and
now underway in the United States. The goal is to help everyone in a community understand how dementia impacts
individuals and families, and things we can each do to make a difference in the lives of those affected. In this free,
one-hour session we will cover the basics of dementia including common types, signs and symptoms,
communication tips, community resources and more. An emphasis on positive messaging and dementia stigma
reduction is a key part of this program, designed to reach audiences in all community sectors.
We will also have the Memory Kits we created on hand for exploration. Memory Kits can be checked out, just ask at the circulation desk and our friendly staff will let you know which kits are currently available.
Registration is required for this event.
