Emily Kearns, Coordinator of Dementia Friendly Baltimore County, will facilitate a reflection of how we can re-frame living with challenges, including dementia, as an opportunity to not only embrace what we have shared but to also discover and cultivate what we have together in the here and now. We will learn what it means to be a dementia friendly community and discuss the need to choose presencing, which means slowing down to savor every moment together as an opportunity for connection, support, and memory-making.
