Cost: $10.00

A basic understanding of Alzheimer's disease is recommended prior to taking this course. Please sign up for a free Memory Loss 101 course offered in your community prior to attending this Caregiver Workshop.

The Caregiver Workshop focuses on teaching family members how to use creativity and flexibility when interacting with and caring for individuals with memory loss. Three primary areas of care will be addressed in the workshop:
 
1. Tips and techniques for accurate communication

2. How to help the person with memory loss keep their sense of purpose in life, and how to help minimize frustration and anxiety

3. Self-care: Minimizing caregiver stress, rejuvenating the body, mind and spirit, and knowing where and when to get support

In addition, plenty of time will be set aside for questions, discussion, and sharing.
