If you are a family member who is caring for another person in your family consider attending this free inspiring event specially designed for you, next Thursday. "Family Caregiving: Exploring the Senses through Therapeutic Arts" will feature Michael Krieger a Music Specialist and Karen Barsy a Dance Therapist.
This free interactive event for family caregivers will teach you to connect with the senses, giving you techniques that provide different types of stimulation that may help to improve the quality of life for the person you are caring for. They may or may not have Alzheimer's Disease, or other dementia or disability. What you learn will be helpful in any case. You will take home experience and knowledge about how dance, music and pets might help you engage your loved one.
