As the population continues to age, shifting patterns in health and wellness have brought new focus to the challenges of early-stage dementia.
While advancements in medical care have mitigated the risks of many once-dreaded illnesses, neurocognitive disorders remain a significant concern for aging populations, particularly within religious communities dedicated to lifelong service.
This webinar will explore emerging research on dementia prevention and early intervention strategies, highlighting the interplay between spiritual practices, cognitive health, and overall well-being.
By integrating evidence-based insights with the unique strengths of religious life, this session aims to equip caregivers and community leaders with the tools to support individuals with early-stage dementia in maintaining dignity, purpose, and quality of life.
