SUMMARY:Being prepared for the hospital - emergency to inpatient
DESCRIPTION:Visits to the emergency room and admission to the hospital can happen unexpectedly to anyone. For a person living with dementia\, going to the hospital can be a very difficult and frightening experience.

SUMMARY:Indigenous Ways of Knowing about Dementia - Some lessons from the Gitxsan Perspective
DESCRIPTION:In 2017\, direct care nurses within the Gitxsan Health Society identified that an increased understanding of dementia was needed by both health authority and band-employed nurses to better support the individuals with the disease and the community caring for the people with the disease. Through 2018-19\, a multi-partner Nurse research project was undertaken with this aim in mind. This included both qualitative and quantitative components and involved not only the person with dementia but also their family\, friends\, communities\, nurses and other carers. \nLed by and centred around the communities directly affected\, a number of key themes emerged from the project\, which gave voice to the gaps and needs in care but also highlighted the potential areas of strength that can be built on to improve care for the Gitxsan person living with dementia. This presentation speaks about the experience of this particular project and these particular communities with the hopes that further dialogue and knowledge exchange can lead to transferable learning in other separated but related settings. \n  \nIndigenous Ways of Knowing about Dementia Certificate

SUMMARY:Creating a Life Story
DESCRIPTION:Join Christene Gordon\, Lead of Client Services at the Alzheimer Society of Alberta and NWT as she leads you the essential elements of developing a “Life Story”. Creating a “Life Story” can help us to learn about what the person values in life\, what they see as important in themselves\, in others\, and in the world around them. However\, it is important that we recognize that people continue to change\, as do their tastes\, opinions and interests. It is important that life story work is seen as a process\, and not a one-of. \n  \nCreating a Life Story Certificate
