Join us on March 22 at noon for the next McGill Cares webcast to support informal caregivers. During candid, 30-minute interviews with leading experts, Claire Webster explores topics related to caring for a loved one with dementia.

Dr. Duque will speak about the risk of falls in seniors with dementia, and how best to prevent them.
