Leader: Maureen Meletis, Community Educator

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. Join us 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.

This program is offered in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association of MA/NH.

  • You will receive a zoom link for this class 60 minutes before the class starts. The zoom link will be sent directly to the email you registered with.
