What

Demystifying Dementia is a conversational question-and-answer session. You'll be invited to anonymously submit questions, concerns, fears, and big feelings about dementia and engage in conversation about this often avoided subject.


Questions will be addressed by Emerson Lee, a dementia empowerment coach and life enrichment specialist, and any guests who want to share insights and ideas. You'll be warmly welcomed whether you worry that you're getting dementia, living with a diagnosis, or caring for someone who has it.



Emerson Lee (they/them) is a dementia empowerment coach and life enrichment specialist who offers guidance to a more joyful, connected dementia journey. Their practice is rooted in deep presence, learning, and kinship with many wise and wonderful people living with dementia.
