"Effective Communication Strategies" an Alzheimer's Association Workshop

Saturday, March 12 at 3:30pm at The Solana Olney.

Communication is more than just talking and listening – it’s also about sending and receiving messages through
attitude, tone of voice, facial expressions and body language. As people with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias progress in their journey and the ability to use words is lost, families need new ways to connect.

Join us for this free workshop to explore how communication takes place when someone has Alzheimer’s, learn to decode the verbal and behavioral messages delivered by someone with dementia, and identify strategies to help you connect and communicate at each stage of the disease.

For more information and to register, call us 24/7 at 800.272.3900.
