SUMMARY:The Communication Skills No One Teaches Caregivers (But Everyone Needs)
DESCRIPTION:  \nREGISTER HERE!\n  \nWhen you became a care partner\, you probably learned how to communicate with your person – But no one taught you how to communicate your needs. \n  \nThis session goes beyond the basics. Yes\, we’ll cover essential communication strategies for aphasia and dementia care\, but we’re also addressing what really breaks down when you’re caregiving: how to say no\, how to protect your identity in conversations with family and friends\, and why grief makes it nearly impossible to advocate for yourself. \n  \nGenevieve Richardson\, a speech pathologist specializing in aphasia and founder of LIFE Speech Pathology\, will share a different approach to communication – one that acknowledges the emotional weight of caregiving while giving you practical\, immediately usable strategies. You’ll learn how boundaries are a communication skill\, why your words matter as much as theirs\, and how to stop losing yourself in the role. \n  \nWhether you’re caring for someone with stroke\, aphasia\, dementia\, or any condition that’s changed your life\, these principles will help you communicate more effectively in every direction – with your person\, with your family\, and most importantly\, with yourself.
