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

SUMMARY:Watching and Listening - Finding Enjoyable Ways to Spend Time Together
DESCRIPTION:Sometimes\, it’s the little things we can miss which can change moments in the day\, for example\, turning our chairs to face a window or using the internet to rediscover a favourite song or comedy sketch to share with a loved one. When our world felt a bit smaller with the Covid 19 pandemic\, we had to find creative ways to spend our time\, which didn’t involve going out and meeting others. So what can we find in our homes and on our doorsteps which will lift our spirits and bring back positive memories? In this presentation\, Sally will be sharing a range of practical ideas\, particularly those tapping into the two senses of sight and sound. \n  \nWatching and Listening – Finding Enjoyable Ways to Spend Time Together Certificate

SUMMARY:New Considerations in the Care of People Living with Dementia
DESCRIPTION:**Please note this presentation topic has changed** \n“Newer considerations in the care of people with Alzheimer’s disease” \nHaving or caring for a loved one with dementia can create a flood of emotions and challenges. While we always want to prevent dementia\, even slowing its progression can improve the quality of life for both the person with dementia and their carers. The good news is that actions which prevent dementia are the same ones which can slow its progress. Even more importantly\, these actions are simple and have beneficial impacts on physical health as well. Healthy eating\, physical activity\, social interactions and a sense of purpose in life are all effective ways of preventing and slowing dementia\, not to mention improving quality of life at all stages. While such recommendations may sound rather mundane\, there is now a large body of evidence explaining how these lifestyle factors directly impact the brain. Sometimes\, the simplest interventions are the best interventions. \n  \nNewer Considerations in the Care of People Living with Dementia Certificate

SUMMARY:The Serious Effects of Loneliness on Seniors: Mental & Physical Consequences
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Richard Lewanczuk discusses the serious impact of social isolation and loneliness on seniors\, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. While people often associate loneliness with boredom and lack of joy\, it’s important to recognize its significant mental and physical health implications. Loneliness can have adverse effects on the immune system\, making individuals more susceptible to viral infections. It can also impact the cardiovascular system\, blood pressure\, diabetes\, and inflammatory response. Furthermore\, loneliness can impair cognitive functions such as memory and reasoning\, potentially worsening conditions like dementia. Care partners also experience isolation and suffer emotional\, mental\, and physical consequences as a result. \n  \nThe Serious Effects of Loneliness on Seniors Certificate
