SUMMARY:Online - Within Us All Are Super Powers that We Underestimate But Can Get Us Through Many Challenges. You Are Stronger Than you Think!
DESCRIPTION:As caregivers one of the hardest things about the Covid-19 pandemic is that it has limited our ability to pursue new experiences. The loss of engagement in our usual environments can undoubtedly endanger mental health\, but those who have been able to immerse themselves in new hobbies\, goals\, or even walking routes have found the activities to be beneficial and refreshing. We all have untapped Hidden Superpowers that can get us through tough times once we uncover them. Research shows that understanding our past experiences in our lives and cultivating them is a recipe for the present and the future. We actually have these skills hidden within that can improve well-being. \nThis month lets go within and become self-aware using the mosaic of our own lives and experiences to move ahead with ourselves and those we care for . \n

SUMMARY:Online - Educate\, Energize and Empower our Emotional Intelligence as Caregivers
DESCRIPTION:In life we though that IQ\, Intelligence Quotient was the standard bearer on how well we did in life. This is a myth that has been handed down for years. There are brilliant people who never get to accomplish their goals in life no matter how intelligence they are. Overtime\, we came to understand that much more was need. Today we call that Emotional Intelligence. Emotional Intelligence enables success in a much more powerful manner. Emotional Intelligence enables family and professional caregivers to achieve a higher level of understanding\, and consequently offer a better degree of care Caregivers with high EI are not immune to the negative aspects of their profession or the challenges of dealing with family members but we have come to see that with the skills of Emotional Intelligence they have greater resilience in terms of the day-to-day need to cope with difficult issues and the physical and emotional pain. Caregivers with higher EI were able to avoid compassion fatigue and were more successful experiencing “compassion satisfaction.” Join Dr Jamie today in understanding how we can accomplish this need to become emotionally intelligent in ways that can assist our lives and our loved ones accomplish so much more. \n

SUMMARY:Dementia Diagnosis and Treatment
DESCRIPTION:Dementia is a scary term and is often misunderstood. Dementia isn’t defined as a specific disease. It is generally described as a group of symptoms which affect cognitive and social abilities to the extent that they interfere with the functions of daily living. Dementia is usually confused with Alzheimer’s because it is the most common type; however\, there are symptoms of dementia that are caused by other conditions – some of which may even be reversible. Nestor H. Praderio\, MD will review the dementia diagnosis process and explain the types of dementia including symptoms and stages. He will also outline intervention and treatment options. \n

SUMMARY:Aging in the 21st Century: What Caregivers Need to Know Now
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic revealed many problems in our healthcare system\, especially in long term care settings. Many seniors and their families consider the option of long-term care at some point\, but the pandemic has made us rethink those options.

Our sessions will explore these options and will offer tips and resources that support healthy aging for all in a post-pandemic world. \nHow has COVID-19 changed our view on long-term care facilities? What led to the increased mortality of seniors in long-term care facilities? What are the lessons learned? \n
