SUMMARY:Cannabis and Alzheimer's: Exploring New Potential Treatments for Agitation
DESCRIPTION:Summary: \nThis webinar will review the different ways that substances from the cannabis plant might help to manage dementia and related responsive behaviours\, such as agitation\, in people living with Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers have been studying cannabinoids\, the active parts of cannabis\, to see if they can reduce agitation\, a common and distressing symptom. While non-drug approaches are usually tried first\, medications are sometimes needed. However\, current options can have serious side effects. Cannabinoids may work differently and could offer a safer alternative\, but more research is needed. \nThe session will also highlight a new study testing whether a cannabinoid called cannabidiol (CBD) can help reduce agitation in people living with Alzheimer’s disease. This study builds on earlier research using a similar cannabis-based substance called nabilone\, which showed promising results. The new study will help researchers understand whether CBD can offer similar benefits\, with fewer side effects\, and how it might be used in future dementia care. \nThis webinar is free to attend and is presented in plain language. You will have the opportunity have questions. \nFor more information on the study\, visit:  https://tdn.alz.to/research_study/calm-it/  \nThis webinar is presented in partnership with the Toronto Dementia Research Alliance \n  \nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Krista Lanctôt is a senior scientist at the Hurvitz Brain Sciences Research Program and the director of the Geriatric Psychopharmacology Research Group at Sunnybrook Research Institute. She holds the Bernick Chair in Geriatric Psychopharmacology at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and the University of Toronto. She is also the research co-director of the Department of Psychiatry at Sunnybrook. At the University of Toronto\, she is a professor in the Department of Psychiatry\, where she is also the Vice Chair\, Basic and Clinical Sciences\, and a Professor of Pharmacology and Toxicology. \nHer research focuses on understanding mood\, thinking\, and behaviour changes that happen in illnesses like dementia and stroke. She studies the brain chemicals and body processes that cause these symptoms and looks for new treatments\, including medicines\, brain stimulation\, exercise\, and diet. Her goal is to find safer and more precise ways to treat these symptoms and improve care for people living with dementia and other brain disorders.

SUMMARY:Capturing Moments: A Photography Workshop for People with Dementia and Their Care Partners
DESCRIPTION:6-Week Series on Thursdays\, July 3rd – August 7th from 1:30 – 3:00 PM at AST located at 20 Eglinton Ave West\, 16th floor. \nJuly 3rd\, 10th\, 17th\, 24th\, 31st\, & August 7th 2025 \nPhotography is more than just taking pictures—it’s a way to see the world\, tell stories\, create and hold onto wonderful memories. In this interactive workshop\, we invite you to explore the joy of capturing everyday moments through photography. \nOver six sessions\, we will reconnect with personal memories\, discover new ways of seeing\, and engage in meaningful conversations inspired by the images we create. Each week\, we will reflect on our photographs\, share our experiences\, and explore different themes—from light and shadow to storytelling through pictures. No prior photography experience is needed; it is said that the best camera is the one you have\, this workshop is about creative expression and personal connection. \nJoin us as we slow down\, curiously observe the world around us\, and find beauty in the small details. Let’s create together\, share our stories\, and celebrate the moments that matter. \nAbout the Instructor:\nPradeepto Roy is a visual storyteller who believes that photography offers a unique way to engage with the world. It allows us to slow down\, reconnect with our senses\, and discover the beauty that often goes unnoticed. Through intentional photography\, we not only capture memories but also create new ones—bringing joy and meaningful connections. Pradeepto has worked with children\, adults and individuals living with dementia and their care partners\, and through this workshop\, he invites you to be present\, explore your creativity\, and make memories that will last a lifetime. \n  \n
