The Primary Health Care Center is hosting the final in a series of telehealth 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 the last session in April will be about Caregivers and Resilience and for that session it will be her leading a discussion about the need for caregiver self care. She says her plan is to have a family care provider come on the telehealth link with her to talk about her experiences about first caring for her mother and now for her husband and what she found was necessary to do that well and stay well personally as she cared for each of those individuals.
The seminar is being held Tuesday night from 6:30 to 8 at the Primary Health Care Center. 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.
