Recorded JF&CS Memory Café
We record the facilitated portion of some virtual JF&CS Memory Café gatherings so that our guests and others can enjoy them later. At our May 6 café gathering, we recorded an inspiring 12-minute talk by advocate Laurie Scherrer about living well with dementia. See this video and the whole virtual JF&CS Memory Café video playlist here, and feel free to share it.
Want to Join Another Memory Cafe?
Many Massachusetts memory cafés now offer virtual programs, some are meeting outdoors, and some are gearing up to resume indoor meetings. You can find our directory here: www.jfcsboston.org/MemoryCafeDirectory (Look for the blue sidebar listing virtual cafés, on the right side of the page), it’s continuously updated. There is also a national virtual café directory here: https://www.memorycafedirectory.com/cafe-connect/.
Here is a one-minute video in English, Portuguese, and Spanish that shows memory cafés in action, including virtual and in-person cafés. Please share this with anyone who would like to know what a memory café is all about!
