Reading and Reminiscing
Trained support group facilitators will guide thoughtful discussion of selected short poems from the book Like Falling Through a Cloud. Author Eugenia Zuckerman wrote the book's collections of poems during the early days of her Alzheimer's diagnosis and the book eloquently expresses her experiences of coming to terms with early symptoms of the disease. Together, participants will discuss some common themes that accompany a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or dementia. This six-part series is designed to help participants gain new perspectives and coping skills through insightful conversations with their peers. All participants will receive a copy of the book. People living with early-stage Alzheimer's, other dementia, or MCI diagnosis are welcome to attend this FREE weekly program. Pre-registration by October 25, 2024, is required. Call 800.372.3900 to request a pre-registration screening interview.
