This month, our guest speaker will be Rachel Iris Grant, therapist and wellness professional. Rachel will present “Hope and Healing: A Workshop on Dementia, Alzheimer’s, and Self-Care”. This workshop offers a compassionate and practical overview of dementia and Alzheimer’s, exploring their impact on individuals and caregivers. Participants will learn to recognize key signs, understand the challenges of caregiving, and discover effective self-care strategies to maintain well-being and resilience. Together, we’ll build a supportive community focused on strength, understanding, and hope.
