Monthly Public Programs

No one should face Alzheimer's alone. Available in-person or online, our free education and advocacy programs feature information on topics including the signs of Alzheimer’s disease, diagnosis, communication, living with dementia, caregiving techniques, and public policy efforts.

We offer three types of programs below:

• Live Webinar: Program is offered live via a webinar platform. Registration is required, and registrants will be sent additional webinar details prior to the date of the program. Participants will be given the option of joining via video/webinar or through a toll-free number.
