Webinar | Effective Communication Strategies for Caregivers

Caregivers can experience challenges when communicating with others. This could include health care providers, community organizations, or informal support from friends and family. They can be misunderstood and have difficulty getting their message across, leading to frustration and further communication breakdowns. Building skills and strategies for effective communication can ensure that both the caregiver’s and the person they care for’s needs are heard and understood. The ability to stay solution-focused during challenging times can set everyone involved up for success.

In this session, you will learn about:

• The importance of effective communication
• Key communication strategies
• Additional tools and resources to support your communications with service providers and others in your circle of support.

During this session, we work with the Communication Tips Handout Final English.
