SilverSource social workers will be available to share information about community support service providers and resources.

Refreshments will be served.

About the film: The world is facing a crisis as baby boomers age into dementia. The U.S. is no exception with an estimated 16 million unpaid dementia family caregivers currently punching dementia in the face every day while trying to keep dementia loved ones and and themselves afloat emotionally, physically and financially. And in a system that offers few resources or support, caregivers build community, champion each other, and learn to celebrate life on the long road to death.

Presented in partnership with SilverSource.
