• “How to Communicate So Your Senior Can Hear You," with counselor and senior advocate Ali Davidson, on March 4;
• “Alzheimer's and Dementia from a Caregiver's Perspective," with geriatric specialist Dr. Richard MacDonnell, on April 1; and,
• “Medication Do's and Don'ts and Medical Warning Signs," with a panel of geriatric nurses, on May 6.
