Beyond Words
Thursday, March 23 & March 30
2:00 – 4:00 pm EST
This two session Peer to Peer Conversation is for family or friends who are supporting someone living with a rare or young onset dementia in the earlier stages of their condition. These sessions focus on understanding the brain’s role in language, how cognitive changes can have an impact on familiar communication skills, and how the diagnosis itself may affect the nature of your daily conversations. These group conversations are structured to provide information and facilitate an exchange of ideas among members. You will need to be a RDS Canada member to attend these sessions. If you’re not already a member, you can now register under the community heading on the home page.
RDS Canada will offer a Peer to Peer Conversation specifically for members supporting someone living with primary progressive aphasia, a language-led dementia, in the Spring of 2023, please email us to be placed on the interest list for this Conversation.
These Peer to Peer Conversations will be facilitated by the RDS Canada Direct Support Team: Debbie Sauve (SLP) and Jen Gordon (MSW).
