Understanding Dementia

Understanding Dementia

Overview

Join us for an engaging and accessible talk on dementia — what it is, how to reduce your risk, and what the warning signs look like.

Hear from:

  • Professor Kate Laver, leading dementia researcher from Flinders University
  • Lived Experience Advocates from Dementia Australia, sharing first-hand insights
  • Marion Dementia Cafe, a local support and social group for carers and people living with dementia.

Professor Laver will cover:

  • Everyday choices that may help protect your brain health
  • What to look out for in yourself or loved ones
  • What is happening in the brain of people with dementia
  • Exciting research that’s shaping better support and treatment for the future

No medical background needed. This session is designed for everyday people who want practical, easy-to-understand information.

Stay afterwards for a free afternoon tea with snacks, tea and coffee. It’s a chance to chat with our speakers and connect with others in the community.
