The Conversation Project – tips for talking about wishes for care through the end of life
Caregiver Teleconnection sessions are one hour learning sessions that can be done via Zoom or over the phone for caregivers of older persons. Experts from around the country share information important to caregiving. Caregivers will have the opportunity to ask questions as well as hear from other caregivers.
Our sessions are geared for the family members taking care of a loved one over the age of 60. Professionals are also welcome to participate as well.
This session will provide suggestions and messaging principles to elicit What Matters to someone for care through the end of life in an effective and accepting way.
