Dementia: The New Pandemic

& How to Protect Vulnerable Adults

Learn about dementia awareness, advocacy, and what we can actually do to better support our loved ones and one another.

Dementia is impacting more families than ever—often quietly, often without enough support or understanding. Learn about awareness, advocacy, and most importantly, what we can actually do to better support our loved ones and one another.

Whether you’re a professional, a family member, or community member, this interactive program is designed to help you recognize cognitive decline and respond appropriately when abuse, neglect, or exploitation is suspected.

Teri Frykenberg (Dreher) RN CCM BCPA is a nationally recognized leader in professional patient advocacy, an Amazon best-selling author, a patient safety expert, a newspaper columnist, and a sought-after public speaker. As a lifelong mentor, teacher, and champion for patients, Teri founded Nurse Advocate Entrepreneur to ensure everyone has access to a quality private advocate. She believes that at the heart of every good nurse, physician, and social worker is the spirit of advocacy—and that private patient advocates are uniquely equipped to meet the future of healthcare beyond the hospital’s walls.

Registration is encouraged, not required.
