This forum discussion hopes to determine ways to develop alliances between the LGBT community and the Alzheimer's Association. Discussions about Alzheimer's disease, the importance of early detection, family, caregiver resources and community services.  

Please join us for a morning of speakers and intentional discussions about the needs of LGBT older adults, their families of choice, and issues related to equality, health, and community services.

The Alzheimer's Association is pleased to facilitate this event made possible by a grant from the Foundation for the Carolinas Lesbian and Gay Fund.

Registration, a breakfast buffet, and networking will take place from 8:00 - 8:45. Our program will begin at 9:00. Information and resource tables will be available. CEUS are available for Social Workers, CNA's, Adult Care Home Administrators, and Activity Directors.

Through Conversations, we strive to provide Alzheimer's disease education as well as health and community resource information; foster inclusiveness among LBGT older adults, caregivers, and industry professionals; act as a catalyst for building alliances between the senior industry and LGBT community; and promote follow-up through additional conversations, workshops, and presentations.

This event is free and open to the public. Seating is limited. Registration is required to attend. 
 

Join us to help bridge that gap and develop a program that can build all communities.
