Dementia Friends educational program

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

The Hanover Senior Center is presenting an educational program about
dementia. This program will to be held Wednesday, March 30, 2022, at 4:30
p.m. at the Center at 665 Center Street. Please sign-up using
myactivecenter.com or call 781-924-1913 to register.

Dementia Friends is a global movement that is changing the way people
think, act, and talk about dementia. Developed by the Alzheimer’s Society
in the United Kingdom, the Dementia Friends initiative is underway in
Massachusetts. By helping everyone in a community understand what dementia
is and how it affects people, each of us can make a difference for people
touched by dementia.

To become a Dementia Friend, you participate in a one-hour Dementia Friends
information session offered by a Dementia Friends Champion. You will learn
five key messages about dementia and a bit about what it’s like to live
with dementia. As a Dementia Friend, you turn your new understanding of
dementia into a practical action that can help someone with dementia living
in your community. Your action can be as big or as small as you choose –
because every action counts!

The goal of the Hanover COA staff is to train as many staff, residents, and
business owners as possible, in Hanover and the surrounding towns, to
become Dementia Friends.

Classes are held monthly on the last Wednesday of the month at 4:30 p.m.
For questions or further information, call the Hanover Senior Center at
781-924-1913 or e-mail patty.walker@hanover-ma.gov .
