OCO Webinar – Caregivers and Puppets: The Perfect Pair
Puppetry is a playful and creative tool for caregivers. It helps us look at things differently and encourage social interaction. Through puppet-making activities, we explore ways to build rewarding intergenerational connections.
In this webinar, we will demonstrate how puppetry and storytelling can help caregivers:
Explain to children the caregiver role, why it’s important, and changes in family dynamics when someone needs special care
Interact in a joyful and engaging way with their care recipients, especially those diagnosed with dementia at any stage of the disease
About our speaker – Shelley King

As the founder of Artful Connections, she offers creative and engaging workshops that spark imagination and take the pressure off remembering for people with dementia.
