Dementia: After the Diagnosis – Empathy & Empowerment & the LiveWell Experience
Receiving a diagnosis of dementia can be overwhelming, both for the person with dementia and family members. It is common for several emotions to surface and families to be uncertain of next steps. Join Erica DeFrancesco, MS, OTR/L, Director of Community Education at LiveWell for a conversation about living with dementia. LiveWell partners with people living with dementia and their family members to support them in better understanding dementia while also providing resources related to emotional support, health and wellness, social and meaningful engagement, and planning. Living well with dementia is possible and involves knowing one's life story and empowering people with dementia.  Registration is required.
