Join us for a special training led by Laura DeLoye from the Alzheimer’s Association this October! This session is designed to help SLO Village Movement volunteers better recognize the signs and symptoms of dementia and learn practical, dementia-friendly approaches to communication and support.

As more of our members are impacted by cognitive decline, it's essential that we show up with empathy, awareness, and effective strategies. Whether you're providing rides, making friendly visits, or helping with everyday tasks, this training will give you tools to interact with care and confidence.

What You’ll Learn:

Common signs and stages of dementia
Best practices for communication and interaction
Tips to support a dementia-inclusive environment
How to reduce confusion and distress in everyday encounters

Who Should Attend:
All volunteers - If you are unable to attend, we will be providing a self guided option and have your report back after reading/watching resources.
