Mental Health Ministry: Dementia
UU Society of Geneva
The Impact of Dementia
Please join the Mental Health Ministry team on Sunday September 21, 2025 at 11:45 am in the Sanctuary as we explore the many impacts of dementia--on the individual, their loved ones, and society.
The meeting will include information on current research, and the potential benefits of pursuing an early diagnosis. Some members will share their personal experience of the profound impact on the family of cognitive decline and other lesser-known effects of dementia. We'll also discuss the growing societal crisis of an enormous increase in the number of Americans projected to have dementia in the coming years, along with the shortage of caregivers, living options, and high cost. There will be ample time for questions and group discussion on this difficult but important topic.
