The Dorothy and Peter Brown Jewish Community Adult Day Program which provides innovative and engaging activities, care, and socialization for those living with dementia along with support for their families, will be offering a free program designed to support caregivers on Sunday March 2 at 1 p.m. at their West Bloomfield location. Navigating the Journey of Dementia: Advocacy, Support and Embracing Acceptance will feature a talk from Jim Mangi, PhD, who was a caregiver and is now an educator, advocate and founder of Dementia Friendly Saline. Dr. Mangi’s wife developed early onset Alzheimer’s Disease at the age of 57 and he had been her caregiver for 17 years. During that process, the scientist and former business owner became an expert on caring for his wife, who passed away recently, and is a well-known speaker about dementia care, providing essential advocacy strategies, valuable resources and support to other caregivers. The program, which begins at 1 p.m. will also offer attendees a tour of the Brown Center, refreshments and a question-and-answer session with Dr. Mangi. To register for the program, preferably by Feb. 25, email Joanna Dorfman at [email protected] or call 248-661-6390 ext. 1.
