Memory Cafe facilitator training program offered

The Grand Coulee Area Senior Center will hold a one-day training course for those interested in creating a Memory Cafe for those suffering with Alzheimer’s and dementia. The course will be held Tuesday, Sept. 29, from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Grand Coulee Senior Center, 203 Main St., Grand Coulee.

Training focuses on helping those with mild-to-moderate memory loss enjoy greater social interaction with their families and others via memory prompts. It will also cover techniques for improved communication. The Senior Center is looking for volunteers for our program; any local organizations or churches interested in creating their own programs are invited as well. Training is free and lunch will be provided by the Senior Center.

Please register in advance by calling the Senior Center at 633-2321.
