Community Advisory
Artful Moments: Community Advisory
Including the voices and contributions of people with lived experience of dementia in our work is essential to us. We are actively seeking people living with dementia and family/friend care partners to connect with us about current and future work. Commitment and opportunities to participate are flexible, and compensation is provided.
How you can get involved:
Supporting your interests and availability is important. You choose how often we connect with you and in what format. From joining quarterly meetings, to receiving regular calls or emails, there are many different levels of participation.
The Artful Moments: Community Advisory works with us to advise program direction, activities, language choices, and more. Members may join our training programs or research to provide meaningful insights on lived experiences, or act as community ambassadors in the Hamilton Region.
Please complete the Sign Up form to get started. We look forward to meeting you!
