About this Class

Join me- it’s time we had the hard conversation of many communities and community members are experiencing. As leaders experience cognitive decline, communities face tough questions. This discussion explores how we recognize changes, respond with compassion, protect safety, and navigate consent—without expecting self-awareness from those affected. Together, we’ll consider how to respect contributions while addressing current realities with honesty and care. All generations are needed to be effective and consider community solutions.
