Re-Imaging Dementia

Age is the #1 factor for dementia: by age 65, one in seven people have signs or symptoms of dementia. By age 72 that number is one in three., by age 85 one in two. Dementia affects us all in some way either as caregivers or those who will need care. In this workshop, we will explore the latest perspective and approach to dementia based on: life-long well-being as a primary outcome rather than cure; refocusing on assets and changing abilities (what can you still do?) rather than deficits (what can you no longer do?),; and more.
