The Flin Flon Primary Health Care Centre will be hosting a series of seminars presented by the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba.  The Society’s Program Director Norma Kirkby says they are part of Telehealth Family Education for Those Experiencing Dementia.  She says they find that using telehealth allows them to get to communities where they don’t necessarily have staff or where smaller groups of people might meet.  She adds they find it effective as well because it puts the people in touch with local community professionals who can also be a resource to them as they support a family member or friend who’s living with dementia.

The October 25^th session will be on Step Safety and Fall Prevention and the November 29^th session will be on Transition to Long Term Care.  They run from 6:30 to 8 at the Primary Health Care Centre.  To register online go to www.alzheimer.mb.ca or email outreach@alzheimer.mb.ca or phone 1-800-378-6699 and use the reference code Flin Flon.
