You’re invited to learn about the “ABC’s of Dementia Friendly Libraries” at the Saskatchewan Library Association’s upcoming Learning Opportunities Series virtual event. Register today!

Communities that are supportive, inclusive, and accessible have the power to meaningfully impact the quality of life of individuals living with dementia and their care partners. That’s why the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan looks forward to sharing more about dementia and how libraries can contribute to more dementia friendly communities at this exciting, upcoming event!

At the presentation on March 24^th, we will share more about:

·        dementia and the changes in abilities, behaviour, and communication it can cause;

·        how these changes can affect an individual’s experience at the library;

·        what it means to become more dementia friendly; and

·        ways libraries can get involved in becoming more supportive, inclusive & accessible by considering their social and physical environments and increasing understanding. Read more
