Just a reminder that there are still some seats available for the Empowerment in Action conference on June 11.

I’m excited to talk about dementia and anxiety, and there will also be sessions on improv and dementia as well as how to de-escalate challenging situations. The day will end with a panel of individuals living with dementia.

This is a great opportunity for professionals as well as those who have a loved one with dementia. A student rate is available.

We are offering CEUs for Iowa nurses as well as social workers.
