Webinars

This presentation will review the genetics of Alzheimer’s disease and Frontotemporal dementia.

This webinar will focus on how rehabilitation and technology can help people living with dementia stay at home longer and live more independently.

This webinar will explore ways to reduce the risk of developing dementia, supported by healthy brain aging. It will introduce what brain health is, as well as ways to maintain brain health as we age, and slow down progression of dementia.

This webinar will explain what Alzheimer’s Disease is, how it is distinguished from other forms of dementia, and who might be at higher risk for developing Alzheimer’s Disease. It will introduce how to address these risk factors, as well as existing treatments to mitigate the neurodegenerative disease.

This webinar will explain what Parkinson’s Disease is, how it is related to dementia, risk factors associated with Parkinson’s Disease, and strategies/support for people living with Parkinson’s Disease. It will introduce how to address these risk factors, as well as existing treatments.
The webinar will also explore a study at Baycrest in Toronto that is looking for participants. The study looks at how people living with dementia and their care partners access and use assistive technology products (e.g. reminder apps, safety devices).

Join us October 19 from 4:00–5:30 p.m. for a virtual Speaker Series with Dr. Amer Burhan, Co-Director of Research at the Toronto Memory Program and Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto.

This webinar will explore issues that are specific to caregivers/care partners of people living with dementia. The importance of caregiver health will be discussed, as well as the breadth of resources that are available within the community. The webinar will also explore active research that is being conducted to better understand the needs of caregivers/care partners.
