JOAN’S BLOG – TUESDAY, JANUARY 27, 2009 –CONNECTED CONVERSATIONS

While things are quiet and peaceful in my house (see blog below), I thought I would take this opportunity to inform everyone of an intriguing looking educational series. I liked the idea of this one because no computer is needed. The series is via telephone, so please spread the word to those who are not computer savvy.

From the :

"Connected Conversations: A Telephone Education Program

What is the Connected
Conversations Program?

Connected Conversations is a telephone
education program. This program has
been established as a means to provide
effective and efficient education and
information to caregivers and those
affected by Alzheimer’s disease with the
convenience and comfort of using a
telephone.

Who is
Eligible?

Anyone who may be interested in
learning about Alzheimer’s disease, the
services and supports available through the
Alzheimer’s Association is invited and
encouraged to be a part of the Connected
Conversations Program.

What can I expect?

The Connected Conversations Program will cover a variety of topics weekly. Every Thursday, during the hours of 1-2 PM, a different topic will be discussed.

Each topic discussion will last approximately one hour with an expert discussing the specific topic. The discussion will be interactive, allowing for each participant to ask questions, provide comments, and/or relay concerns during the call.
