A free tele-workshop that explores how communication is affected by dementia will be presented by the Alzheimer Society of B.C. May 26 at 7 p.m.
Understanding Communication is meant to give family caregivers insight into effective communication strategies and ways of providing care that focus on the needs of the person.
Pre-registration is required by May 23. Visit www.alzheimerbc.org or phone toll-free 1-866-396-2433.
Tele-workshops are learning sessions designed for family caregivers, but are also open to health-care providers.
They can be accessed via telephone, with an optional web component, recognizing that many caregivers are unable to attend in-person workshops.
