Caring for someone living with dementia can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to figure everything out on your own.

 

The Alzheimer Society of Manitoba’s Care for You Family Conference takes place October 17th in Winnipeg, offering practical advice and a chance to connect with other families.

 

CEO Erin Crawford says that shared understanding can help ease the weight caregivers carry.

 

 

The conference runs from nine until 3:30. Registration is fifty dollars, including lunch, through alzheimer.mb.ca or 1-800-378-6699.
