Faith-Centered Resource Liaison Training
The Faith-Centered Resource Liaison serves as a link between their faith community and the Alzheimer's Association Orange County Chapter. These volunteers provide general information about Alzheimer's disease and related dementias and refer congregants to the Alzheimer's Association for education, resources and emotional support.

Individuals interested in this work should be members in good standing in their faith community, able to maintain confidentiality, and have a genuine compassion for individuals and families dealing with memory loss.

If you have an interest in possibly becoming a Faith-Centered Resource Liaison, please consider joining us at the next training meeting.
For registration contact Bobbie Babbage at 949.757.3758                      

Memories in the Making® - Alzheimer's Art Program
Memories in the Making is the signature art program of the Alzheimer's Association Orange County Chapter.  For many years, Memories in the Making has been recognized locally for its ability to elevate the quality of life for people suffering from Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Art offers a non-verbal alternative to verbal communication through pictures. When Alzheimer’s steals their words, art offers an important opportunity for the expression of memories and emotions. Sponsored in part by Pentel.

November 5, 2009
8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. 
$50 materials and manual fee applies.

There are no pre-requisites for this program; trainings are open to anyone interested in learning how to use art as a communication tool for individuals with dementia and related disorders.  The ideal facilitator for the program is a person familiar with Alzheimer's disease who also has an interest in art.
