What's New at CVACL?
​
Our next Navigating Dementia: Empowerment & Connection workshop started Wednesday, February 11, 2026... but it's not too late to join in! We meet via Zoom at 4:00 p.m. for five more weeks as we work through an enhanced self-management curriculum.
​
Thank you to Genworth Foundation for their continued support as we deliver this program for people learning to live with mild cognitive impairment or early dementia and their care partners.
