We also dive into the benefits of exercise.
The importance of the Phrases – Nothing About Us Without Us and Nothing About Me Without Me
Organizations that tout having a “Token” person living with dementia on the board… and the impact of that.
Truthful’s Blog on dementia symptoms and strategies.
Using a cell phone for strategies, pictures to help remember things or events, calendars, and reminder alerts.

Open Mic Airs on Alzheimer's Speaks

Our Panel today consists of Craig Hanke, Ginger Smith, Harry Urban, Laurie Scherrer, Jennifer Bute, and Truthful Loving Kindness who are living with dementia.  You will hear about when they got diagnosed, how their diagnosis changed over the years, and how they are living life well with a form of dementia. 
Some of our panelists have been living 15 to 20  plus years with dementia!
Join us as we listen and learn from their lived experiences! Dementia Chats™
You can also watch the program on YouTube at
https://youtu.be/ulSIssz8-W0?si=ubOoi7UsLEQ1cG1u 
Educational Panel – Videos Raising Voices of Those Living with Dementia Dementia Chats™ was created in 2012, to educate people living with dementia, and their care partners including family, friends, professionals, and advocates. Dementia Chats™ positions our panelists to be the true experts.  They are those diagnosed with some form of dementia. 
Our panelists vary from program to program, depending on their schedules. New voices are always welcome to join us. Lori La Bey, the founder of Alzheimer’s Speaks facilitates Dementia Chats.  She learned how essential it was to listen to those diagnosed. Her mother lived for 30 years with dementia. Lori found that people living with dementia had great insights and creative ideas for care, and felt their voices needed to be lifted.  Those diagnosed show us how to be inclusive in new ways.
Our Panelists become spokespersons for themselves and others living with dementia positioning them as advocates, and many say it gives them a new sense of purpose and pride which allows them to continue to live a dignified and purpose-filled life. Learn
