How to get someone to accept help: A conversation for caregivers
Wednesday, June 21 from 2 to 3 p.m.
Join Society staff for a discussion around one of the most common questions we are asked – how can I get someone to accept help? Each panelist will draw on their own and others experiences as we explore the impact of dementia on insight and self-awareness and how that in turn affects the caregiving role, including caregiving at a distance. How do you respectfully start doing things for and not with someone? How do you balance a person’s right to live at risk with advocating to the health care system on someone’s behalf? If you are looking for communication tips and tricks, insight into building a community of support around yourself and the person you are caring for, and some new ideas on how to support a person living with dementia, this is the webinar for you.
