facial expressions and body language. Join us to learn about:

• How to connect with family even when they lose the ability to use their words.
• How to decode the verbal and behavioral messages delivered by your loved one.
• Strategies to help you communicate at each stage of the disease.
• Tips for common caregiver communication challenges.

Presented in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association.

Designed for individuals who have regular interaction with someone with dementia (as a caregiver, family member, neighbor or friend).
