Giving Care To Caregivers
Yes, caregivers need care, too!
The EchoCONNECT workshops are designed to bring fun and laughter to those who want to strengthen their communication skills with clients or loved ones.
What is EchoCONNECT?
EchoCONNECT for Caregivers uses the power of applied improv designed to enhance connection with patients and loved ones. The incorporation of applied improv not only adds a layer of fun to the process but also fosters a supportive environment for learning.
This innovative approach is particularly beneficial when dealing with individuals facing memory loss, anxiety, PTSD, and various forms of mental illness.
- Memory Care (for friends, family, or medical professionals)
- Patient Care (Medical Professionals only)
- Anxiety/PTSD (those going through it)

6 strategies for connecting with clients or loved ones
Relax
Like the flight attendant says, “Put the oxygen mask on yourself first.” Taking care of yourself first makes you better able to take care of your loved one.
Listen To Understand
Active listening can help improve communication. Active listening means listen to understand and make sense of what your loved one is trying to communicate.
Yes, and...
Sometimes you might have to agree or say things that are not true to avoid causing someone distress and to make them feel safe and comforted.
Body Language
Non verbal communication can reduce confusion, agitation and anger. It also increases cooperation.
Be Present
Staying with your loved one’s reality can make them feel safe and secure for that moment.
Teamwork
It’s ok to ask for help. Open communication between you and any other caregiver can be beneficial to both you and your loved one.

Diane did a fantastic job with our team at Twin Oaks Senior Living. The workshop was a very entertaining experience that really focused on enhancing our caregiver communication skills to help our team think outside of the box on how we react and nurture our residents with memory loss. Everyone enjoyed the interaction!
We had so much fun at our office party, Everyone was participating and enjoying themselves. I highly recommend them to any company wanting to build team atmosphere and a place employees LOVE.
I have to say that I don't usually enjoy doing this type of thing, but she was able to get all of us, including me, laughing until we cried. I would highly recommend this company if you're looking to boost morale or to get your team working as one!
