Join us for the inaugural 'Lived experience' webinar this month

British Columbia

On November 25, we will be hosting the first of our new bi-annual 'Lived experience' webinar series. Hear from two members of the Society's Leadership Group of People Living with Dementia, Myrna Norman and Craig Burns, as they share their experiences of what it is like living with dementia during the holiday season.

In this one-hour session, Craig and Myrna will be sharing their personal experiences of the holiday season and discuss a number of topics, which will include holiday traditions that they've adapted because of dementia and how this year's holiday planning has changed with COVID-19.

This webinar is free and available for everyone to join and participate: general public, caregivers, people living with dementia, health-care providers, students and volunteers.

Date: Wednesday, November 25, 2020, from 2 to 3 p.m.
