Effective Communication Strategies
Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias gradually diminish a person’s ability to communicate. Communication requires patience, understanding and good listening skills. Jolene DiBrago will teach you how to decode the verbal and behavioral messages delivered by someone with dementia and identify strategies to help connect and communicate at each stage of the disease.
The Science of Mindfulness
What is mindfulness and how does it work to help us reduce stress and enhance wellbeing? Ann Sebren, ASU teaching professor and certified mindfulness teacher-professional, will talk about the science that explains how mindfulness can change our brain, change our perceptions, and change our hearts.
A Guide to Planning for Long-term Care
