Self Care Education
Supporting people living with dementia can be extremely rewarding but does come with its challenges. Enhance your own well-being through our self care educational programs so that you are able to better support people living with dementia.
EASE
The E.A.S.E program is a 4 session program developed for PSWs currently working with persons living with dementia.
The program will engage PSWs in dementia education, giving practical tools to improve the level of care and support provided to persons living with dementia and the PSW- a real-life approach. PSWs will leave each session with tools/ideas to use right away-on the job.
Session 1: Supporting the Symptoms of Dementia
Session 2: Supporting Responsive Behaviours
Session 3: Tips in Supporting the Person Living with Dementia
Session 4: Health care Professionals: Personal Challenges
Each session is a stand-alone but can be taken in tandem. Drop ins are welcome
T.R.U.S.T
T.R.U.S.T (Towards Reviewing and Understanding Sensitive Topics) is a workshop that examines why persons living with dementia may exhibit responsive behaviours that can affect us in many ways. This has been a reoccurring theme in Dementia specific care and support and is often overlooked.
The goal is that we learn to understand our responses, ourselves and persons living with dementia. This program will include opportunities for self-reflection.
Putting You First
This workshop will use a systematic approach to help you enhance your self awareness of your current well-being. In your reflections, there will also be opportunities to identify what and how you want to would like to action on to create a better balance in your life.
