On Tuesday, April 3, Martha Piersma (of Redbird Yoga in Stevensville) will share “Celebrate Your Senses.” Each sense is a pathway that joins our outer and inner natures. The senses not only tell us what is happening in our outer worlds but also tell us what is happening in our inner world. The more awake your basic senses are like hearing, smell, taste, sight and touch, the richer your inner experience will be! By donation.

2019-06-13 17:30 - 19:00 | North Valley Public Library, 208 Main St, Stevensville, MT, 59870, United States
ALZHEIMER’S ASSOCIATION OFFERS COMMUNICATION PRESENTATION IN STEVENSVILLE
Free community presentation provides insights into communication strategies for Alzheimer’s and dementia caregivers
The Alzheimer’s Association is hosting a free informational community program, Effective Communication Strategies, on Thursday, June 13 at North Valley Public Library at 208 Main St. in Stevensville from 5:30 – 7:00PM.
Individuals living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia often experience changes in communication and behaviors that can be confusing to friends and family. For caregivers, learning to decode messages through attitude, tone of voice, facial expressions and body language can help all involved to connect and communicate in meaningful ways throughout the duration of the disease.
Attendees will learn:

The communication changes that take place throughout the course of the disease.
How to decode the verbal and behavioral messages delivered by someone with dementia and respond in ways that are helpful to the person.
How to identify strategies to connect and communicate at each stage of the disease.

There is no cost to attend, but RSVPs are requested to the Alzheimer’s Association 24/7 Helpline at 800.272.3900.
The Alzheimer’s Association
The Alzheimer’s Association Montana Chapter, based in Billings with volunteers throughout the state, is the leading source of information and support for the 21,000 Montanans living with Alzheimer’s dementia and all those living with related dementias, as well as their 50,000 family caregivers.
The Alzheimer’s Association provides education, care coordination, counseling and resources. In addition, contributions help fund advancements in research to prevent, treat and eventually conquer this disease. The Alzheimer’s Association advocates for those living with Alzheimer’s and their families on related legislative issues.
