Family Caregiver Education Workshop
Our Family Caregiver Education Workshops offer caregivers the opportunity to get their questions about dementia answered. The workshop is designed for new family caregivers of people with Alzheimer Disease or related dementia. Participants will have an opportunity to learn more about the disease, communication strategies and community supports available.

Sessions are held monthly at the Alzheimer Society of Durham Region office. Times alternate between morning (9:30 to noon) and evening (6:00 to 8:30) sessions. There is a $5.00 fee for resource materials. These workshops fill up fast, register early.

Family Caregiver Education Series
This series of workshops is for family caregivers of people with Alzheimer Disease or related dementia. Each workshop focuses on a specific area of challenge that caregivers face. Topics are subject to change but may include:

• Legal and Financial Issues
• Care at Home
• Long term Care Placement
• Understanding Challenging Behaviours
• Advance Care Planning

These sessions are meant to expand on the Family Caregiver Education Workshops. Caregivers may sign up for all four workshops or just the sessions they feel are most relevant to them. Registration is required. Please see our Calendar of Events page to view dates for upcoming sessions.
