Upcoming webinars
Lived experience | The next chapter: Meaning, identity and life after caregiving
Wednesday, November 18, 2:00 - 3:30 PM PCT
In this lived experience panel discussion, caregivers will share their perspective on transitions that might occur during the later stages of the dementia journey and explore life after caregiving. Their stories will offer a range of insights, recognizing that each person’s experience is unique and that there is no single way to move forward.
Together, panelists will reflect on:
- Caregiving transitions and how they experienced and adapted to change.
- Grief, hope, meaning and reconnecting with identity within and beyond caregiving.
- Strategies for self-care.
This conversation is intended for caregivers supporting someone in the later stages of dementia, beginning to consider life beyond caregiving, or adjusting to the recent death of someone they supported.
Research connects: The gut-brain connection and Alzheimer's disease with Dr.Annie Ciernia
Wednesday, November 25, 2:00 - 3:00 PM PCT
The gut-brain axis connects the digestive system and the brain, influencing mood, thinking and brain health. Ground-breaking research suggests this connection could offer new ways for treating neurodegenerative conditions. Join Dr. Annie Ciernia, Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of British Columbia, for an exploration of how her lab is contributing to a growing body of research looking beyond the brain for early signs of the disease.
In this webinar, participants will:
- Explore how microbes - tiny organisms that live in our digestive system - communicate with the brain through the nervous, immune and hormone systems.
- Learn how gut bacteria may influence Alzheimer's disease progression.
A question-and-answer period will follow the presentation.
