Village In The Ville

Become a Dementia Friend on Monday, June 16th from 4-5 PM at Clintonville Books!

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.

In this free, one-hour training to become a certified Dementia Friend, we will cover the basics of dementia, including common types, signs, and symptoms, communication tips, community resources, and more.

The goal is to help everyone in our community understand how dementia impacts individuals and families, and things we can each do to make a difference in the lives of those affected.

Thanks to all of our members who came out to Village in the Ville's Activity Fair yesterday!

They got a chance to hear from representatives from our Member Clubs, including our Book Club, Philosophy Coffee, and Gentle Yoga, and helped us brainstorm future events.
