TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - The Alzheimer's project teamed up with the Florida State college of medicine on Saturday, to hold the 34th annual Disease Education and training conference.
The community took advantage of the free event where caregivers and people with dementia had the chance to learn about everything from available care options to improving behavior and communication.
One Tallahassee caregiver, Margie Marcil, said not only is this conference an opportunity to learn about local resources but also to talk about challenges and coping strategies with fellow caregivers.
In addition to helping family caregivers, the conference offered Continuing Education Credits to healthcare professionals provided by Big Bend Hospice.
