Massachusetts Down Syndrome Congress "Center on Down Syndrome and Aging" announcement:
Last month at the Brighter Futures conference, MDSC unveiled a major milestone for our organization: our fifth Center of Excellence: the Center on Down Syndrome and Aging.
The Center supported in part by the Lighting the Way, Lifespan Fund equips families with resources, support, and expert guidance to navigate the challenges of their loved ones with Down syndrome aging and plan for the future.
We're offering a caregiver support group, curated resources on topics like healthy aging and dementia care, and a new expert webinar series covering everything from accurate Alzheimer's diagnosis to financial planning to caregiver self-care. We're grateful to partner with the Massachusetts Department of Developmental Services on this critical initiative, and to the families and self-advocates who inspire this work every day. 💙 💛
