Hi everyone!

This a heads up to my Northeast Iowa crowd–or anyone interested in a road trip– that I will be doing a presentation at the Waterloo (Iowa) Library on Dementia Caregiving: Surviving the Holidays.

It’s Wednesday night (Dec. 11) at 6:30pm; all are welcome. No RSVP is necessary.

If you have questions, please email dementia.simulation@uni.edu.

The holiday season is a time of joy, celebration, and togetherness for many. However, for families affected by dementia, this period can present unique challenges.

Let’s face it…the holidays make you more of what you are. If you’re happy, they make you happier. If you’re miserable, they make you more miserable. If you are lonely, they make you lonelier. And–if you have dementia and are confused, they often make you more confused.

But you’re not alone.

Let’s talk about it.

I will discuss specific strategies to make your holidays as happy….as they possibly can be.
