Caring Conversations: Safe use of medications for seniors and caregivers

"Caring Conversations is an online forum for care partners of people living with dementia to learn from experts, share concerns and ask questions.

Join a conversation with social worker Lucy Barylak and professional coach and educator Joanne Besner about topics that are important to care partners. After an educational presentation by the hosts, there will be an opportunity to share your own concerns and ask questions.

The Caring Conversations platform permits people to participate online and by telephone. When you register, you will be provided with a link to join online, and a phone number if you prefer to call in. You will need to register online to receive the link and call-in number.

The next episode of Caring Conversations is on December 19, 2023 at 10 a.m. on the topic of Safe use of medications for seniors and caregivers.

Lucy and Joanne will explore possible side effects of medications, the risks of falls when taking medications, as well as common mistakes when taking medications. 

The first hour of Caring Conversations is recorded and will be posted on the Caring Conversations webpage.  There will be up to 30 minutes after we stop recording for those who prefer their questions and comments are confined to the group that is present."
