    October 24, 2024

    The Geriatrics & Gerontology Education and Research (GGEAR) program at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, with generous support from the Maryland Department of Aging, is pleased to present our new professional development and community education program titled “Navigating Dementia.” 

    Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia (ADRD) represent a growing public health crisis. Across Maryland, there are an estimated 110,000 individuals aged 65 and older living with ADRD and nearly 240,000 unpaid family members providing care to these individuals. Recognizing the unique needs of these groups, GGEAR is hosting a series of five webinars and two in-person conferences that are FREE and open to the public. 

    The "Navigating Dementia" educational series is intended for Aging Services professionals, caregivers of persons living with ADRD, and anyone with an interest in matters concerning older adults. The series will provide valuable knowledge, resources, and support on topics related to aging, cognitive health, dementia care, and caregiving in Maryland.

    Maryland Department of AgingFunds from the Maryland Department of Health and the Maryland Department of Aging assisted in the development of this material.  Points of view or opinions contained herein are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official position or policies of the Maryland Department of Health or the Maryland Department of Aging.
