The Nova Scotia Centre on Aging, and the Canadian Dementia Knowledge  Translation Network are please to present a one day workshop for health care professionals on examining the realities of family and friend caregivers.

“Family and friend caregivers supporting an adult with health limitations in the community are an integral part of the Nova Scotia health system. Despite their important role, many health care professionals are not always fully aware of the strengths they have or unique challenges they face. This interactive workshop will assist health care professionals to better understand the realities of family and friend caregivers. Participants will assess their values and beliefs with regard to family caregiving, examine caregiving issues, and leave with insight about how to modify their practice to better support caregivers.”

Wednesday, May 26, 2010 - 9:00am to 2:00pm

Inn on the Lake - 3009 Hwy 2, Fall River

Registration required by May 7, 2010.
