Dementia Friends<br />
The one-hour session is a discussion led by a Dementia Friends Champion. It is not<br />
a training session. You’ll learn what dementia is, what it’s like to live with the disease,<br />
and some tips for communicating with people who have dementia. Everyone<br />
who attends is asked to turn their new understanding of dementia into a practical<br />
action that can help someone living in your community. The action can be as big or<br />
as small as you choose—every action counts!<br />
Dementia Friends...is a global movement that is changing the way people think, act,<br />
and talk about dementia. Developed by the Alzheimer’s Society in the United<br />
Kingdom, the Dementia Friends initiative is underway in Minnesota and across the<br />
United States. By helping everyone in a community understand what dementia is<br />
and how it affects families, each of us can make a difference for people touched by<br />
dementia. Discussion Leader: Jennelle Cunning.<br />

“A Matter of Balance”<br />
This 8 session class is designed to reduce<br />
the fear of falling and increase<br />
activity levels among older adults. It<br />
includes an exercise program, identifying<br />
our fears and finding options for<br />
overcoming them. We also check our<br />
homes for safety/falling issues. This<br />
curriculum is good for planning ahead<br />
to still do the things we like to do. Anyone<br />
having concerns about falling or<br />
wanting to improve their balance, flexibility,<br />
and strength is encouraged to<br />
attend. Registration is required in order<br />
to provide the needed materials and a<br />
$10 donation is suggested to help cover<br />
the costs. Registration deadline is<br />
March 30th. If you have questions or<br />
would like to register for this class,<br />
