The Mind and Body Workshop provides innovative interventions for families who have an early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or another memory impairment. The workshop is a 4 session program series for both the care partner and the early stage individual to participate, promoting social engagement and peer support, while adjusting to life with a new diagnosis.

This session will be offered weekly at Insight Memory Care Center - Fairfax from 4:00 to 6:30 pm. All participants will need to provide proof of vaccination before the first session.
