This month at the Alzheimer Society.

Learn how dementia affects an individual’s brain and behaviour. General topics include different types of dementia, stages and progression and dispelling some common myths.

Learn how to identify the emotional reality of loss of insight – often misinterpreted as denial – paranoia, shadowing, and anxious behaviour. Discover effective strategies for responding to these behaviours using a person-centred approach. 

Get ready for part two of the four-part Flipping stigma webinar series!

The dementia experience involves change and loss and uncertainty. Explore coping strategies for managing emotions and overcoming challenges, as well as ways to find meaning in daily life.

Dementia-related information has never been easier to find, but how do we know if the information we find on the internet, social media and other news sources is accurate and reliable? Join the Society’s in-house researcher, Dr. Heather Cooke, for an engaging discussion on how to increase your research literacy. Learn how to think critically about research, interpret dementia-related research in the news and evaluate the credibility of a story or source.
