THE EMERGING VOICE OF ALZHEIMER’S
TOWN HALL MEETING
Make your voice heard.
About the Program
If you have early-stage Alzheimer’s or another memory disorder, join the Miami Valley Chapter Alzheimer’s Association at a gathering for people with dementia to talk about living with the disease.
Connect with others who understand the Alzheimer’s/memory disorder experience; discuss the issues that matter most to you; and help the Alzheimer’s Association learn how to best serve the changing and growing population of people with Alzheimer’s and other memory disorders.
During the day, only the person with early stage dementia will be asked to speak. Caregivers are encouraged to attend, but the day is for people who have the disease to make their voices heard!
Discussion Topics
During this open dialogue, you’ll have the chance to share your thoughts about topics that include:
• Diagnosis
• Coping
• Treatment and medication
• Legal issues
• Access to resources and transportation
• Stigma
• Personal and professional relationships
• Clinical trials and research
• Community involvement, volunteering and advocacy
