Dementia Education
Virtual Event
This education session is intended for people who are experiencing Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), their close family members and friends, as well as anyone noticing changes or decline in memory. MCI involves memory loss that is greater than expected for one’s age, but not severe enough to interfere significantly with daily life and independence.

In this session, you will learn about:
What MCI is and how it is diagnosed
How MCI differs from dementia
The different types (classification) of MCI
Updates on biomarkers and what is currently available in Canada
The latest information on treatment options
