Forbes Hall Health Services Group - Health Talk Series #1 - Dealing with Dementia

***DON'T FORGET TO RESERVE LUNCH IF YOU ARE ATTENDING***

Thanks to a small grant provided to us by Our Cowichan Healthy Communities, we are able again to provide a series of community talks. Starting off our talks is a series on Dementia offered by Jane Hope of the Alzheimer's Association of BC. The first two talks will be in person, with the third being provided on screen.

On Wednesday September 17th, Jane will be providing two talks.

10:00am to 12:00pm – Getting to Know Dementia: Learn how dementia affects an individual’s brain and behaviour. General topics include different types of dementia, stages and progression and dispelling some common myths.
1:00pm to 2:30pm - Brain Health: It’s never too late to make changes for a healthier brain. Learn how to maintain or improve your brain health by exploring topics including natural aging changes, dementia, risk reduction, memory, brain training and more.

Please Note: a simple lunch will be provided for those who would like to stay at the hall for the afternoon talk, by reservation. See contact information below.

Third Talk: Friday, September 19th

10:00am to 12:00pm – Dementia Friendly Communities:
Islanders are invited to join Jane for an online meeting. Connection information to follow. This will be available in your own home, or at Forbes Hall.
Join us to learn more about dementia and explore simple strategies that can create a more supportive, inclusive and welcoming community for people affected by the disease.

Jane Hope is the Support and Education Coordinator, for the Alzheimer Society of BC on North and Central Vancouver Island. She is a resident of Saltair and has been with the Society for over 20 years. Jane is just as passionate about her job today as she was when she started. In the early 90’s her mother was diagnosed with Vascular dementia, and this began her journey as a caregiver and advocate. Jane’s goal now is to help people live well with dementia and she is inspired every day by the people who live with dementia as well as the care-partners and family members that she works with.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me.
