CARE PARTNER CLASS: Effective Communication Tips

Effective Communication Tips
for Caregivers of those with memory loss
Tues, April 19 • 1-3 pm
In-person at Trailside

Have you ever had a hard time connecting with a family member or friend who is living with changes in their memory? As a person’s cognitive impairment progresses, communication can become more and more challenging. Come and join us for a session on learning how to break through some of the communication barriers that exist, and continue to have a meaningful connection, despite memory changes. Billie Ritter RN, Health Education Coordinator and Trena Winans, Director of Education and Outreach, will explain the challenges that exist and why, in addition to practical applications for daily use to enhance connections.
