Free Dementia Education Drop-in Event Coming To Roosevelt County
MSU Extension’s Mobile Memory Café, led by program manager Lisa Brachwitz, will host two free drop in Dementia education events. The first session will take place at the Wolf Point Senior Services Center, followed by a second session at the Culbertson Senior Citizens Center offering community members an opportunity to learn more about dementia and caregiving resources.
The program offers clear, practical information on topics including:
• What Dementia Is and How it Affects Individuals
• Early Warning Signs of Memory Loss
• How Dementia is Detected and Diagnosed
• What to Expect After a Diagnosis
• Brain Health and Strategies for Living Well with Dementia • Effective Communication with People Experiencing Memory Loss “Dementia impacts many families, yet people often feel unprepared,” said Dr. Daniel Koltz, gerontology specialists and founder/director of the MSU Extension Mobile Memory Café. “This event provides supportive, easy to understand information to help families navigate memory loss.”
The drop-in event is open to all community members, caregivers and professionals.
The first session is Thursday, July 16, from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Wolf Point Senior Services Center, 124 Custer St.
