What is a tele-workshop?

One-hour telephone workshops are educational presentations offered by the Alzheimer Society of B.C. via telephone. These workshops include a live web video of the presention,  making it easy for you to follow along on your computer while you listen on the phone. You will also have the option of downloading handouts after the session.

 

How can family caregivers benefit from tele-workshops?

Support for caregivers is vital to the health of families impacted by dementia. Our tele-workshops cover topics directly related to caring for people with dementia, and give family caregivers the information and support they need without having to leave their home.
 

How does a tele-workshop work?

A tele-workshop provides participants with information and support via the telephone. All participants are on the phone at the same time in a teleconference. A presenter from the Alzheimer Society of B.C. guides the presentation. There is also an opportunity to ask questions and hear from other participants. Occasionally, guest speakers will present  tele-workshops on specific topics.
 

What do I need to participate?

All you need is a telephone! Internet access is also helpful - this will allow you to read along with online materials as they are presented, and to see a live video of the presenters.
 

What if I don’t have Internet access?

If you do not have access to the Internet, special arrangements can be made to have workshop materials mailed to you ahead of time. Phone 604-681-6531 or 1-800-667-3742 or email teleworkshop@alzheimerbc.org.
