As the population ages, the impact of dementia on individuals and their loved ones grows increasingly pressing. A local non-profit, Dementia Capable Cares, is stepping up to offer support and education to those facing the challenges presented by this condition. The organization is hosting a free discussion aimed at enhancing awareness and providing practical support strategies.
The training event, which is set to take place at Five Points for Active Adults on Wednesday, July 23, specifically targets adults aged 18 and over. It serves as an opportunity for participants to gain a deeper understanding of dementia and learn how to support individuals affected by various forms of the disease. As published by the City of Raleigh, the session will run from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. and aims to foster a community equipped to handle the complexities of dementia.
Dementia Capable Cares, while focusing on the Triangle area, advocates for a broader reach in spreading knowledge and compassion concerning dementia's impact. Sharing expertise through discussions and interactive sessions, the group dedicates itself to creating an informed public that can offer tangible support to those in need.
The event highlights the crucial role of community-based resources in addressing the demands posed by dementia. Interested individuals can take advantage of this free session to not only bolster their understanding but also to connect with a community of caregivers, healthcare professionals, and advocates who are committed to making a difference.
