Avenidas 2nd Annual LGBTQ Conference & Celebration

This support group offers a safe space where families can come together to share experiences, challenges, and successes in caring for someone with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia.

This event features a powerful presentation by Vanessa Valerio, MSG RN, CMC, CHCA, exploring how caregiver mindset directly impacts the experience of dementia care. While a diagnosis may not change, the way families and professionals interpret and respond to behaviors can dramatically shape daily interactions and outcomes.

A practical and research-backed talk on how protein and exercise work together to preserve strength and muscle mass as we age, including clear takeaways on how much is needed and when.
