With inclusive programming, services and appropriate communication and accessibility strategies in place, libraries can be a valued service and community hub for people living with dementia and their care partners.  \u003cbr\u003eParticipants will learn about:   \u003cbr\u003e- Dementia: signs, symptoms, prevalence  \u003cbr\u003e- Communication strategies \u003cbr\u003e- How to incorporate dementia-friendly practices\u003cbr\u003e- Current dementia-friendly library projects and programs across Ontario\u003cbr\u003e- Getting connected to an Alzheimer Society near you\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFelicia White holds a degree in Social Work and has worked in the social service and not for profit sectors for 10 years.
