Whatcom Hospice Foundation

Mary Fridley, Faculty at East Side Institute and co-founder and coordinator of Reimagining Dementia: A Creative Coalition for Justice (https://www.reimaginingdementia.com/), joined our Whatcom Hospice volunteers for a three-hour workshop on The Joy of Dementia (You Gotta Be Kidding!).

Mary shared how to help move beyond the usual “tragedy narrative” of dementia and cognitive decline and to utilize the collaborative, creative and humanizing power of improvisational play.

Thanks for joining us, Mary!
