Presenter: Joyce Nussbaum, director, Valley Program for Aging Services

By 2025, an estimated 190,000 Virginians will live with dementia. Dementia Friends is a movement by VPAS to create communities that are more accessible for them and their care partners. VPAS empowers adults 60 years and older with the resources and opportunities they need to lead engaged lives. With this program, you will learn 5 key messages about dementia, what it's like to live with the disease and how to turn your understanding into actions that support people living with dementia.
