This evidence-based workshop promotes empathy and relatability when caring for someone with age-related physical and cognitive challenges. It provides an opportunity to "walk" in someone else's shoes. Participants gain a greater understanding of age-related challenges including neuropathy, hearing loss, vision loss, arthrities, language and cognitive impairment. The exercises mimic what it feels like to be frustrated, confused, isolated and more.
