The DEN attended the 3rd Annual Sackville Senior Wellness Fair last Thursday!
It was great to see so many people (300+!!) come together for one common goal: to promote the health and wellness of older adults in the local community.
We collaborated with community members and partners about our growing network of social groups shaped by and for people living with memory changes, including dementia, creating a place for shared experience, empowerment, and belonging.
It was meaningful to see how many people are working toward the same goal. Thank you Sackville for having us!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day from the Dementia Empowerment Network ☘️
Over the years, our groups have created spaces for connection, conversation, and support among people living with memory changes and care partners.
If you’re curious about what a Dementia Empowerment Group is like, we’ve shared a few short videos from our community members about their experiences.
