In this upcoming webinar, our guest speaker, Dr. Sherri Hayden, will lead us in exploring the impact of anxiety on people living with dementia.
Mental health matters: Anxiety’s role in MCI and dementia
- Date: Wednesday, July 10, 2024
- Time: 2 to 3:30 p.m. PT
Living with dementia may often come with a range of emotions including anxiety. Some may have lived with anxiety prior to dementia, while for others, it emerges as they come to terms with their dementia diagnosis.
Mental health is a crucial aspect of overall well-being. Anxiety and related mental health factors can significantly impact cognitive function, particularly in people with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and dementia.
There are ways to live well and enjoy life. Join our upcoming webinar as we will:
- Discover how anxiety affects the progression of MCI and dementia.
- Gain insights into actionable ways to prevent and manage anxiety-related behaviours to improve quality of life.
- Host an interactive Q&A session.
This webinar is for caregivers and people living with dementia.
