Presented by Teresa Anuza, Coordinator, Educational Services

How to spend quality time with someone who lives with Alzheimer’s disease

How to speak to children and teens about Alzheimer’s disease

In this webinar we will define quality time in terms of the wellbeing of the caregiver as well as the person living with the disease. We will also explore various options to make the best use of the time we spend with the person living with Alzheimer’s disease.

The young children or grand-children of people with Alzheimer’s disease are often confused and distressed by the changes resulting from this disease. In this webinar we will discuss ways to speak and how to listen to young people, how to encourage the expression of feelings, as well as examining potential strategies for interaction.
