*** This program is dementia friendly. Dementia friendly means creating an inclusive, supportive space where information is shared clearly and at a slower pace, with extra time for questions, reflection, and meaningful participation. First Connections is a supportive series for individuals living with early-stage dementia and their caregivers. Participants will learn about dementia, coping strategies, and available resources, while connecting with others in a safe and welcoming environment.
