What to Expect

As a community, we will come together to learn more about meaningful engagement and its impact on brain health and opportunities in our community and our own lives.

❋ Hear from the Experts

  • Experts from IU and those living with dementia will share how meaningful engagement impacts brain health and well-being.

  • Members of the Dementia Friendly Bloomington action team will provide updates on what is happening in the area and around the state.

❋ Learn about Community Opportunities

  • Organizations from around the community share opportunities available to others searching for a place to be involved.

  • People Living with brain change and care partners share with their experiences and how organizations can better support them and connect to their expertise.

❋ Explore

  • Attendees will explore what is meaningful to them and what organizations or opportunities might be the best fit.

❋ Eat and socialize

  • Come for the brain health lunch and connect with others in the community who are also seeking to support Dementia Friendly opportunities.
