The Alzheimer’s Association will offer a free presentation titled "Effective Communication Strategies" from 10 to 11 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 9, at the James River Senior Center, 419 5th St. NE, Jamestown.
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. Attend the presentation to 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.
Registration is not required to attend this program, which is open to anyone free of charge. This project is supported by funding granted through the North Dakota Department of Human Services, Aging Service Division.
