Matter of Mind: My Alzheimer’s

Matter of Mind: My Alzheimer’s is an intimate portrayal of three families confronting the unique challenges of Alzheimer’s and how this progressive neurodegenerative disease transforms roles and relationships. Whether it's a partner caring for a loved one or an adult child shifting into being their parent's caregiver, these stories show how families evolve when a loved one is diagnosed.

Hosted by Sydney Alison, this free screening of "Matter of Mind: My Alzheimer’s" will feature two special guests: Meggie Gaskins, Director of Communications at the Alzheimer’s Association, who will join us as a guest speaker, and director Anna Moot-Levin, who will participate virtually via Zoom for a Q&A session.
