Dementia Friendly Workshop for Faith Communities (New Orleans, Louisiana)

Alter is delighted to present our Dementia Friendly Workshop for Faith Communities in New Orleans! Join us at Greater St. Stephen Full Gospel Church for an informative session on creating a welcoming environment for individuals living with dementia. Learn practical tips and strategies to support and engage those affected by dementia within your congregation. This in-person event is a great opportunity to make a difference in your community. Don't miss out on this valuable workshop!

Faith-based leaders play an integral role in encouraging families to seek a dementia diagnosis and use local support services. Alter's goal is to partner with faith-based organizations anchored in African-American communities to support families affected by dementia. A dementia-friendly faith-based organization is one that (a) accepts and values people regardless of cognitive abilities; (b) ensures that people living with dementia and their caregivers/care partners are supported through their journey; (c) makes sure that people living with dementia and their caregivers/care partners are spiritually and pastorally supported and nurtured; and (d) encourages participation from families experiencing dementia in their faith community.
