Workshop date: Tuesday, September 23, 2025
Workshop time: 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. with lunch break (lunch not included.)
An education session for family members who are caring for a person living with dementia.
Key topics include:
– Understanding dementia: Learn about the different types and stages of dementia, how the disease progresses and common myths.
– Changes in communication: Discover how dementia affects a person’s ability to communicate over time and explore strategies to adapt and cope with these changes.
– Changes in behaviour: Explore various changes in behaviours caused by dementia and learn practical strategies for responding in supportive ways.
– Building caregiver resilience: Learn about strategies to positively manage stress and prioritize self-care to cope with the changes brought by dementia.
– Personal planning: Early in the dementia journey it can feel daunting to think about what lies ahead – but it’s important to plan now, before communication and decision-making become more challenging. Learn how to begin planning early for important legal, health-care and financial decisions.
For caregivers only.
