The number of people living with dementia is on the rise. Standardized approaches that label or categorize dementia do not honor the unique experience of each person. Participants will learn from people living with dementia who will be participating and talking about their life experience. Participants will update their knowledge of dementia, learn how to help individuals build on their strengths, and gain tools and ideas to be more person-directed in their support.
