SUMMARY:Virtual Dementia Inclusive Info Session
DESCRIPTION:In Ottawa and Renfrew County\, more than 24\,000 people live with a diagnosis of dementia. This number is expected to double by 2030. Like all of us\, people living with dementia have told us that they want to remain active participants in their communities for as long as possible. They want to feel understood and welcomed by the people where they conduct their daily activities   such as grocery shopping\, going to the bank\, getting a haircut\, going to a coffee shop or restaurant.\n\nWe also know that many people living with a diagnosis of dementia and their caregivers alike\, become isolated due to the stigma associated with this disease. Tasks that were once easily completed become more difficult\, and the person with dementia must rely on others for help. This creates stress especially if the community is not sensitive to the needs of the person living with dementia\, or their caregiver and family members .\n\nBusinesses like yours can help! And we're here to help you.\n\n  Are you interested in increasing your foot traffic during slow periods and generating additional revenue?\n\n  Are you interested in becoming a business that actively welcomes caregivers and people living with dementia?\n\n  Are you interested in receiving accolades from your clients for the work that you do in your community?\n\nJoin our virtual information session to learn more!\n\nRegister here: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/virtual-dementia-inclusive-info-session-tickets-227242998927
