Dementia Dialogue - Alzheimer Society of B.C.

Below are two upcoming Dementia Dialogue sessions we want to highlight for you.  Dementia Dialogues are interactive learning opportunities for family caregivers to connect with one another and increase their knowledge about dementia and caregiving skills. These sessions are facilitated to allow caregivers to share their experiences and take home practical information.

Building Resilience
The caregiving journey is an exhausting one.  How do you cope? How do you look after yourself? Join us as we explore ways to build resiliency by sharing ideas and strategies for coping with this immense role.
