The Detroit Area Agency on Aging (DAAA) and The Alzheimer's Association will co-host this holistic, evidence-based series on dementia.

Each workshop will begin with a one-hour introductory session, hosted by the DAAA, entitled Dementia Friends. You only need to attend one of these sessions, as the content will remain the same each week. The second hour, however, will feature a different discussion each week from The Alzheimer's Association. The schedule is as follows:

Wednesday, April 10: Awareness in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Learn about Alzheimer's and the impact it has on the African American/Black community.

Wednesday, April 17: 10 Warning Signs of Alzheimer's
Explore how Alzheimer's and other dementias cause changes in memory, thinking and behavior that interfere with daily life. Learn the 10 common warning signs and what to watch for in yourself and others.

Wednesday, April 24: Healthy Living for Your Brain & Body
Learn what research has shown about lifestyle choices that may help keep your brain and body healthy as you age. Hear practical ways you can incorporate changes into a plan for healthy aging.
