Join Alzheimer's Association volunteer Community Educator, Jess Kalb, at Whitney Hill Homestead (100 Whitney Hill Road, Williston, VT) to hear Effective Communication Strategies for engaging those with Alzheimer's or other dementias. Communication is more than just talking and listening – it's also about sending and receiving messages through attitude, tone of voice, facial expressions and body language. As people with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias progress in their journey and the ability to use words is lost, families need new ways to connect. Join us for this FREE program as we explore how communication takes place when someone has Alzheimer's, learn to decode the verbal and behavioral messages delivered by someone with dementia, and identify strategies to help you connect and communicate at each stage of the disease. Program takes place January 14, from 1-2:30.

Registration is requested by contacting Beth at Whitney Hill Homestead at (802) 859-8870 or e-mail alpert@cathedralsquare.org.
