“What’s First?” – A Workshop for People Diagnosed with Dementia or Experiencing Changes in Cognition
Virtual Event
Too often, clients shared that they wish they had learned what they would learn later in their journey but much earlier, expressing how key insight on the dementia experience would have improved their overall dementia journey.
This brand-new workshop was designed by AST social workers in collaboration with caregivers, people experiencing cognitive changes, and various dementia specialists to offer key knowledge at the start of the dementia journey.
