Join us on February 12, 2021
The Kiwanis Club of Lakeshore Montreal is proud to partner with Customized Homecare in support of the Alzheimer’s Society of Montreal. Join us on February 12, 2021, from 10AM to 12PM for a free virtual conference entitled How to Communicate with Someone who is Living with Dementia.
Bill Haugland, a Canadian journalist and former news anchor for CTV in Montreal, Quebec and a native of Montreal will open the conference with his inspiring personal journey with his mother who suffered from Dementia. This not to miss conference will feature real life examples of struggles, and solutions to common communication challenges.
Keynote Speaker Teepa Snow is an Occupational Therapist with over forty years of rich and varied clinical and academic experience. Teepa presents with extraordinary expertise and humour to audiences throughout the world. Her experiences led her to the development of the GEMS® State Model, for understanding the progression of dementia, and the Positive Approach® strategies.
In these times of curfews and confinement many of our community programs have reduced services or have dramatically altered support to families living with dementia. Families living with Dementia need to learn and use many techniques to effectively communicate more than ever before.
The event is being presented in English with simultaneous French translation.
We invite you to register for the English event or register for the French event! Participants are encouraged to give a suggested minimum donation of $5.00.
The Alzheimer’s Society of Montreal will receive 100% of the proceeds.
