Published on Nov 19, 2025

Caregiving is about more than meeting daily needs, it also includes staying connected with your loved one.

For caregivers supporting someone with a communication challenge, moments of frustration or breakdowns can make communication feel overwhelming. This 1-hour webinar will provide practical tools to make conversations smoother, reduce stress, and strengthen relationships.

Caregivers will learn how to recognize when communication is breaking down, how to support without taking over, and how to use AAC and other tools to encourage communication independence. The session will also highlight the importance of caregiver well-being and community support. Join us to build confidence and leave with strategies you can use right away.
