Hi BCTRA 👋🏼

We have two fantastic lunch and learn sessions coming up this month that discuss how to use technology to improve older adult quality of life. 

Join us to learn more about Echobox Memory Vault and Silent Disco headphones! 

Echobox Memory Vault
Thursday, August 14, 12:00-1:00PM 
Pre-approved for 0.1 CEUs

Echobox Memory Vault has developed a technology that captures and references our favourite things about life, carrying a power that travels well beyond sentiment and nostalgia. This simple tool enables caregivers, Rec Therapists and families to elevate quality of life, streamline communication, and ease tensions during daily tasks.

This webinar will share the journey of Echobox - how caregivers and Rec Therapists helped shape it. We will walk you through our technology and give insights on how it directly combats caregiver burnout and work-related stress, all while providing an easy approach to person-centric care.

Intergenerational Silent Disco Parties for Older Adults Living in Long Term Care
Tuesday, August 19, 12:00-1:00PM
