Virtual Conversation: Dementia-Friendly Museums

June 24, 2022 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm

In this two-part series of virtual conversations, CMCH and partners will explore how museums and cultural institutions can better serve people living with dementia.

Session 1: Friday, June 24 @ 1:00pm – 2:30pm
LiveWell Dementia Specialists will provide an understanding of the signs and symptoms of dementia, as well as provide strategies to become more resilient. We will hear first-hand what life is like living with dementia.

Session 2: Friday, July 8 @1:00pm – 2:30pm
Join us to learn how several Connecticut museums are currently serving people with dementia. We will explore the steps necessary to begin a successful dementia-friendly program. The conversation will be followed by an opportunity for Q & A.

This virtual 2-part program is free. To secure a spot, register now. You will receive an email confirmation with the Zoom link attached, and we will send you a reminder on the days of the sessions.
