SUMMARY:How Technology Tools Can Improve Dementia Caregiving (Online Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:Join Johnna Lowther to learn about Tusk\, a care navigation tool that can help support caregivers who are caring for loved one with dementia. \n1 in 4 Albertans are caregivers. For each person diagnosed with dementia\, there are 10-12 additional people directly impacted by the diagnosis- providing assistance and/or managing care. \nHow do we help caregivers more effectively and efficiently find resources needed to assist them? Learn about a technology tool that helps caregivers navigate the system\, access resources\, and focus on their own health and wellness in the process. \nTusk\, The Care Navigation Tool\, provides support to caregivers who are on a journey they didn’t sign up for and are coping and managing as best they can. It acts as a central hub of information to guide caregivers through searchable service provider categories and educational resources. It also helps track the health and wellness of caregivers and care recipients to promote informed decision making. \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:The Grief of Losing a Loved One to Dementia (Online Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:Join Ashley Mielke\, Founder and Director of The Grief and Trauma Healing Centre for an engaging heart-to-heart conversation on what grief is\, the losses associated to Dementia\, the normal and natural reactions to loss\, the myths and behaviours that keep us stuck\, and the actionable steps you can take to heal and move forward.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOne of the most painful losses that we can experience is the slipping away of a loved one to a disease like Dementia. Our grief compounds as the condition worsens and we are left holding onto who the person was before the onset of the disease. Every hope\, dream\, and expectation we carry in our heart’s for our relationship slowly slip away. \nMany people experience a slow deterioration of their loved one’s health and others experience a more rapid decline. Every loss is unique\, therefore every grieving person is unique. Regardless of your circumstances\, your emotional responses are completely normal and natural. \nSadly\, we haven’t been taught the information on how to navigate our grief in a healthy and meaningful way. Many of the intellectual messages we hear like “keep busy” and “be strong” are well-meaning\, but they are not emotionally helpful and often further isolate us in our pain. \nThe wonderful news is\, grief does not have to be a life sentence of suffering. There are actionable tools that can help us to move beyond the pain\, isolation\, and loneliness caused by loss\, including Dementia. \nREGISTER
