Memory Loss Conversations - A Support Group

Memory Loss Conversations is an informal, social group for those adjusting to memory loss or dementia.  This group provides a safe space to share conversations with people who understand, to experience support and encouragement, and to explore positive ways of living with memory loss.  The group is offered every Thursday from 10:00 to 11:00 am.  It is facilitated by Patti Holkup of Dementia Friendly Missoula.  Participate by telephone or online using Zoom, at no cost. Come as often as you like. Click here to register.
