Memory, aging program offered
The Alzheimer Society of Huron
County is pleased to offer its
Memory and Aging Program™ at
the Trinity Anglican Church in Blyth
and the Brussels Public Library
Branch this fall.
This program, developed at
Baycrest Hospital in toronto,
describes what memory is and how it
changes with age. The program will
review practical strategies to
improve your ability to remember
everyday things such as names,
location of items and things you
intend to do. Equally important, the
Memory and Aging Program helps
build confidence in your own
memory ability.
Past participants have reported
feeling more knowledgeable about
their lifestyle choices that support
their brain health and see an increase
in their use of personal memory
strategies.
The Memory and Aging Program
consists of four weekly, two-hour
sessions.
The Blyth course will be held at
Trinity Anglican Church from 10
a.m. to noon on Wednesday, Oct. 16,
23, 30 and Nov. 6.
The Brussels course will be held at
the Brussels Library Branch from
1:30 - 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct.
31, Nov. 7, 14 and 21.
The Memory and Aging course is
open to anyone; you do not need to
be a client of the Alzheimer Society
to enroll. Class registration is
mandatory to ensure materials and
space. Space is limited to 15
participants – and it fills up fast! The
workbook and materials fee is $25
per person.

Society of Huron County to register:
