Hello Cafe Family,

There is an abundance of opportunities this month to connect with others who are striving to live well with dementia and find joy in their JOurneYs! Read more below in this week's update about how you can be a part of the movement to de-tragedize and destigmatize the messaging often associated with dementia.

To learn more about the Hummingbird Memory Cafe and our collective creativity, visit https://linktr.ee/hummingbirdmemorycafe.

Please let the café know if there is anything else we can do to support your journey. Contact us at [email protected] or call 505-787-6322.

May you have time this week to engage with others who are finding joy in their JOurneYs!

Dr. Joyce Fogel will provide tips to prepare for and get the most out of every health care visit.

She will discuss giving and getting information, shared decision-making, approaching sensitive subjects, and preparing for potential hospitalization.
