Communication and Connection Techniques for Caregivers

Posted by Becky, Volunteer Mentor @becsbuddy, May 21, 2023

I received this newsletter recently from the hospital where I get my care. It lists some online resources and classes that are available to all.
https://www.uchealth.org/today/dementia-resources-how-to-communicate-and-connect/
This seemed to be the appropriate time to share it with everyone.
I would love to know id you learn anything new or find the info helpful. What do you think @justbill123 @csm11171962 @johnna16 @denisefrey @mrjohnwebb @buggirl55 ?

That was great!
It actually gave helpful ways to communicate to help keep my husband calm. The part about too many details and words hit home for me! I emailed it to myself and pinned it so it would stay at the top of my email list for my easy access.
Thanks so much.

Thank you. I read this with my 12 and 15-year old kids, who are partnering with me on my 51-year old husband's journey with Lewy Body Dementia. It is very helpful, and will definitely help us help others struggling with dementia, too.
