Dallas is stepping up its efforts to honor the contributions and significance of older adults with a special celebration marking Older Americans Month. The Office of Community Care & Empowerment, AARP, and Dementia Friendly Dallas have teamed up to spur a shift in perspective regarding aging and to underscore the importance of understanding and supporting those living with dementia. Scheduled for Thursday, May 15, this event will be hosted at Tyler Street Church, located at 927 W 10th St., Dallas, TX 75208, and encourages public participation.
The day's agenda is designed not just as a commemoration but as an instrument for genuine connection and education, Michael D. Childs will lead a dance workshop that could defy any preconceived notions about the vigor left in later years, and Jane Hunley will host a Dementia Friend session, informing attendees on how to become allies to those grappling with this condition. On top of that, the event is set to provide a wealth of resources for empowering older adults and their families to live fulfilling lives.
Interested parties can secure their spots at this community-enriching event through several channels: online registration, a simple phone call to 214-670-5227, or even via email at [email protected]. In case you require interpretive services, the City of Dallas is ready to accommodate these needs; requests can be made through the same contact outlets.
