November 13, 2009 09:30 AM to November 13, 2009 01:00 PM

* This course will be offered in three 3.5 hour Friday sessions, on November 13, November 20 & November 27.*
The Dementia Education Series offers caregivers an intensive "how-to" course on facing the challenges of dementia.

An understanding of dementia and the progression of Alzheimer’s disease helps both the person with dementia and their care partner(s) to cope.

People with dementia typically experience changes in communication and behaviour.  Learn effective ways to support the person, reduce stress and friction, and cope with day-to-day issues.

It is empowering to understand a  “system” that can appear overwhelming.  When supporting a person with a chronic illness, it is vital that the caregiver stays well.
