January Awareness Education Seminar
Dementia…Learning through the Arts Thursday, January 22 7 to 8:30 pm Samuel N. Cohen Auditorium, 351 Tache Ave., St. Boniface Hospital Research Centre, Winnipeg (map)
The evening opens with a performance of Pam Calabrese MacLean’s 12-minute play Is it Wednesday? by Two Ladies on a Bench productions. A panel will then discuss:
• Diagnosing dementia. It’s more than memory. • Having dementia. Life goes on. • Supporting caregivers. A team approach. • Caring. It takes a community.
