Join Dr. David Grube for Learning & Discussion: Death with Dignity & Advanced Directives. This presentation is a partnership between the UUFC “Aging Successfully in Community” and Lumina Hospice and Palliative Care.

Join Alise Ingrid Liepnieks for an afternoon discussing how communication is more than just talking and listening — it is also about sending and receiving messages through attitude, tone of voice, facial expressions and body language. As people with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias progress in their journey and the ability to use words is lost, families need new ways to connect.

Join Vicki Schmall for an afternoon discussing the unique challenges of caregiving, and applying “self-care,” while in the middle of trying to juggle it all. As a family caregiver, you may need to master new skills, develop new ways to relate to a family member, and make difficult decisions.

Join Ari Kloke, LCSW, for a bit of serious comedy, art-based interventions, and a safe space for laughter and tears, as she colorfully shares from her personal art and photography exploration as a caregiver. This event is free and open to the public. Catered lunch provided. Registration required. Seating is limited.
