  • Table Talk: Taking It to the Streets

    ***THIS EVENT HAS NOW ENDED***

    October 6, 2023 - 4pm - 6pm pm Eastern

    Let’s find out what people think about dementia: Do they worry about it? Know anyone who has it? Avoid the topic altogether? Let’s encourage people to reimagine what dementia is and be a part of re-shaping the conversation around it. How can we live well with dementia? How can we advocate for a society that values those living with dementia and embraces them as a part of the community? How can we, in our daily lives, encourage and promote acts of compassion towards those living with dementia and their care partners?

    We’ll ask people to put their thoughts in writing on large Post-It stickies and help create a Post-It Poster Board Poem about Breaking the Stigma of Dementia!

    Rebecca will also livestream portions of this to her social media (@asweetercourse) and will post a picture of the completed poem as well in order to encourage others to join in on the conversation. No registration required - we hope you’ll join us.

    Join Rebecca Wellner and Alice Rydel at our table 43rd Street between 9th and 10th Avenues in Manhattan, New York.

  • Taking It to the Streets (Oakland)

    ***THIS EVENT HAS ENDED***
    October 7, 2023 - 11am to 2pm. PDT

    We'll introduce ourselves and the Coalition, have a short survey for passersby, our petition to sign, and create new conversations and play with art.

    We want to reach the broadest cross-section of individuals and communities so everyone can join us in creating a world, and systems of care, in which a diagnosis of dementia is not the end of life (or a source of stigma, shame and isolation), but a starting point for joy, growth, humanity and new possibilities.

    Millions of people are living with and impacted by dementia around the world, yet the code of silence that continues to surround dementia is strong. We hope to have a positive impact at the event with interactions and conversations that creatively share how you and we are reimagining dementia.
