Our Innovative Programs

Care partners often find themselves navigating unfamiliar terrain, trying to provide the best care possible while grappling with their own emotions and fears.

Our program at Giving Voice understands the importance of support for care partners. We offer a community where care partners can find solace, share experiences, and gain valuable insights from others who understand their journey.

Empowering Families

Let's Think Differently
About Dementia

We need to recognize the need for dementia-friendly, inclusive activities where people living with dementia are seen as people and not as a diagnosis.

We need to recognize that there is much life to experience after a diagnosis. A life that includes friendship, laughter, and joy. A life that includes hope and possibility.

At Giving Voice, we believe that music is the key to living well with dementia.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

This work is funded in part by MHC with money from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund that was created with the vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4th, 2008.
