In November 2022, NAJC began a webinar series on Dementia.  In this section, you will find webinar notes, resource handouts, and links to video discussions on Dementia, through a Jewish perspective.  

We pray that this helps those who help those with dementia.

In this section, NAJC presents printed resources and videos from the webinar series.  Originally offered as an NAJC member benefit, NAJC  now offers these resources as a gift to the public.
