Join us on Thursday, October 24th for a mental health awareness screening of SPARK: Robin Williams and His Battle with Lewy Body Dementia.

This documentary film is part educational and part love story. It portrays Robin Williams' harrowing journey with dementia seen through the eyes of his widow. Dementia, such as Lewy Body Dementia and Alzheimer's, is a disorder of the brain that leads to cognitive impairment. Individuals with dementia often have co-occurring mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, hallucinations and delusions. After the film mental health professionals from Family Service League and Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center will lead a discussion about dementia based on the film's content, exploring such issues as the challenge of getting a diagnosis, and the challenge of caring for a family member.

Screening and talk to follow from 4-6pm, event is free and open to the public.
