SUMMARY:Healing Through Our Shared Mourning
DESCRIPTION:The work we do is both uplifting and emotionally challenging. One of the greatest challenges we face is the loss of a meaningful client relationship. Our clients leave us in a variety of ways; they move to be with children\, they stop service when they transition to assisted living\, they die. Sometimes we don’t even have the chance to say “goodbye.” \nDuring this unique opportunity\, we will take the time to acknowledge these losses and to support one another. Group facilitator Sue Ann Wasserman will be joined by Executive Director Josh Obeiter and Associate Executive Director Jan Klein for this meeting. We hope you can make it to this special tribute to your clients and the important bond you shared. \nCaregiver Support Group: Healing Through Our Shared Mourning \nDate: Tuesday\, March 28 \nTime: 6 – 7:30 p.m. \nLocation: In person at the SHS Office\, 330 Bear Hill Road\, Suite 305\, Waltham \nRSVP: Required by Sunday\, March 26\, by clicking the link below only if you can attend as space is limited

SUMMARY:Creating Meaningful Activities for Clients Living with Dementia
DESCRIPTION:Working with clients living with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia often creates the need for us to be creative in how we structure our time together with them.  While some clients may still be able to direct how their time is spent with you (or they may have family members that provide direction)\, it is often up to us as caregivers to determine what to do with our clients with cognitive impairment\, balancing both physical and cognitive needs. Join us for this interactive session where SHS caregivers will come together to discuss activity/program ideas that have worked for them and their clients\, and brainstorm new ideas together as well. (Please note: This session is optional and there is no compensation if you attend.)
