Because Everyone Knows Someone -Dementia360
Because everyone knows someone…
Living in community when someone is living with dementia.
Dementia is a condition that touches our lives in different ways, whether through someone we know who is living with it or through our own experiences as caregivers. The goal of the presentation is to offer a fresh perspective for thinking about dementia and to provide practical insights on how we can support those living with dementia and their caregivers, to help them lead better, more fulfilling lives. Together, we’ll explore ways to make a positive impact, whether you are a caregiver or simply someone who wants to understand more about this important issue

The Joy of Living with Hope Grows
The Joy of Living Program
The Joy of Living program from Hope Grows provides a continuum of support and resources through a 6-week series of education, sharing, and reflecting. Family caregivers will learn tools to help with coping, self-care and awareness, and recognizing areas of personal well-being.
Each week will focus on one of six key elements of finding and/or maintaining the joy and happiness that can happen whether you are currently caregiving or not.
Preserving joy, finding strength, and maintaining balance while caregiving is difficult to sustain when surrounded by stress, struggles, pain or suffering. This series will encourage and empower you by making the most positive, mindful, and holistic techniques.
Essential oils, inspirational stones, flowers and symbolism, and the art of writing and coloring will become the cornerstone of shaping the caregiver’s journey.
Week 1: Finding Strength
Week 2: Maintaining Balance
Week 3: Encourage Healing
Week 4: Understanding Faith
Week 5: The Power of Hope
Week 6: Preserving Joy
