Family Caregiving Seminars and Workshops
J-Sei is offering seminar and workshops on a variety of Family Caregiving lectures. Please RSVP to jill@j-sei.org or call (510) 652-4000 if you’re interested in attending. Listed below are the following topics along with their respective dates and times:
Monday, September 16 12:30PM – 2PM
Family Caregiving: Memory Loss, Memory Care
Does any loss of memory signify dementia? Isn’t memory loss a normal part of aging? We often hear that because someone is old, memory problems are “just natural” and are to be expected. But we know that serious memory loss is not a normal part of aging, and should not be ignored. .
In this informational workshop with the Family Caregiver Alliance, we will learn about memory issues and dementia. We will explore ways we can provide support and ensure the safety and care with those with dementia as caregivers, family members, and friends. RSVP requested to jill@j-sei.org.
Go Wish: Advanced Care Planning
What wishes and choices do we have as we prepare for end-of-life care in advance? How do we begin the conversation and share our wishes with family, friends and health care professionals.
The East Bay Conversation Project is a community-wide coalition dedicated to promoting understanding about advance care planning. RSVP requested to jill@j-sei.org.
Tuesdays, 10:30 – 12 pm (on-going)
Family Caregiver Support Group
Caring for a parent or loved one is a wonderful thing to do. They’ve given so much to us, it’s only right to give back, to show our gratitude and appreciation. Ideally, we would like to feel love and compassion in our heart all the time but often times, in the reality of the moment, uncomfortable feelings surface.
Come share your feelings and experiences in a safe space. Alan Maeda, a retired family therapist and former family caregiver, is the facilitator. RSVP to jill@j-sei.org.
