DAI Meeting of the Minds Webinar
DAI Meeting of the Minds Webinar
Please note: This event will take place on Wednesday, March 24.
Join Dementia Alliance International every month on the last Wednesday for their Meeting of the Minds Webinar.
March's topic is "LGBTI People, Kindness and Dementia" presented by Dr. Catherine Barrett, founder and director of Celebrate Ageing.
This presentation will begin by outlining the work of the Celebrate Ageing program, including the Museum of Love, which explores the importance of love in the lives of people with dementia. Then, it will outline the key challenges that lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex (LGBTI) people face when they are diagnosed with dementia, in particular the lack of knowledge and compassion from families and service providers. The presentation will conclude by exploring how the stories of people living with dementia have been embraced by the Kindness Pandemic (a project set up under the Celebrate Ageing umbrella with over half a million members) and how kindness is changing the way some people live.
This event is FREE to attend and will be held virtually. Registration is required here. To see the Facebook event, visit here.
