The Massachusetts Healthy Aging Collaborative is pleased to promote the following events by partners in our network that support inclusive age- and dementia friendly communities:
- “Let’s Talk about Dementia and Culture 2024,” hosted by Dementia Friends Massachusetts, October 29, 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. (virtual)
This year’s theme is: Brain Health for All Communities. Join researchers, advocates living with dementia, public health leaders, and community-based dementia educators as we explore current evidence-based tips for brain health, how these link to the structural and social determinants of health, and what research and life experience tell us about continuing to live well with a dementia diagnosis. Register in advance on Zoom here. Attendance is free. CEUs will be available for a fee – check here for updates. Simultaneous interpretation in Spanish, and captions in English and most other languages available. Contact Beth at bsoltzberg@jfcsboston.org with questions.
Join the Massachusetts Caregiver Coalition for a morning of networking and learn from experts about strategies and best practices to support family caregivers in the workplace. The event will feature Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development Secretary Lauren Jones and Executive Office of Health and Human Services Secretary Kate Walsh.
Information and registration is available here.
