What's New at CVACL?
NEW WORKSHOP BEGINS APRIL 15!
Navigating Dementia: Empowerment & Connection
If you have been diagnosed with a dementia-related condition, it is important to know: you can live well with dementia.
This new workshop & peer group is brought to you by CVACL, with funding from Genworth Foundation, for those in the early stages of Alzheimer’s Disease or other dementias and their care partners. We’ll meet online weekly for six weeks to work through the Dementia Self-Management Guidebook, a publication of the Dementia Engagement, Education, and Research (DEER) Program in the School of Public Health at the University of Nevada, Reno. Then we'll continue the conversation with online peer group meetings, offered twice per week.
Interested? Contact Maggie at mmccanna@cvcl.org or (434) 385-9070 x106.
