SUMMARY:Alzheimer's Association Fall Seminar - Virtual
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \nThis event is being co-hosted by the Alzheimer’s Association and Texas Healthy at Home. \nEarly detection of Alzheimer’s disease is critical\, and empowering oneself with the right information and resources is the first step toward living well with a diagnosis. \nAs we age\, we can all expect subtle changes to take place in our memory and thinking. But dementia is not a normal part of aging. Phrases such as early onset\, younger onset\, or Mild Cognitive Impairment can be confusing or misunderstood. This event will offer clarity around the diagnostic process\, what living well with a diagnosis can look like\, treatments on the horizon\, and how caregivers can best support their loved ones. \nSessions include: \nEarly Diagnosis: Maximizing Time\, Empowering Decisions\, and Accessing Treatment presented by Heidi Rosetti\, PhD\, neuropsychologist \nUnderstanding Alzheimer’s and Dementia presented by Jane Hunley\, LMSW \nCarpe Diem: Perspectives Following an MCI Diagnosis presented by Dan Jaworski\, Alzheimer’s Association Early Stage Advisory Group member \n“I want to go home!” Responding to Challenging Questions in Dementia Care presented by Loy Campbell\, occupational therapist \nAdvances in Alzheimer’s Research presented by Percy Griffin\, PhD \n3 hours of complimentary CEUs will be offered for nurses\, social workers and LPCs.

SUMMARY:On Dementia: Care\, Community\, and Creativity: You’re Invited
DESCRIPTION:“On Dementia” Book Series Features Conversations with Leaders in Elder Care!  \nThe Frye Art Museum in Seattle\, WA\, in partnership with Aging Wisdom and the University of Washington Memory and Brain Wellness Center presents On Dementia: Care\, Community\, and Creativity\, a series of three conversations with leaders in elder care who have published books in 2020 that bring hope\, connection\, and joy to adults living with dementia\, their care partners\, families\, friends\, and those who provide support. Each program will be a Zoom webinar\, including an interview with the author\, readings from their new book\, and questions from the audience. Participants are not required to attend all three conversations in the series. \n2 – 3 p.m. Thursday March 11    Learn more and REGISTER: https://fryemuseum.org/program/creative_aging_workshops \nJoin Lynn Casteel Harper\, author of On Vanishing: Mortality\, Dementia\, and What It Means to Disappear\, in conversation with Marigrace Becker\, Program Manager\, Community Education and Impact\, UW Medicine Memory and Brain Wellness Center. \nExpanding our understanding of dementia beyond progressive vacancy and dread\, On Vanishing makes provides encouragement and meaningful examples of better ways of caring for\, and thinking about\, our fellow beings. Weaving together personal stories with theology\, history\, philosophy\, literature\, and science\, Harper confronts our elemental fears of disappearance and death\, drawing on her own experiences with people living with dementia both in the American healthcare system and within her own family. It is a rich and startling work of nonfiction that reveals cognitive change as an essential aspect of what it means to be mortal. \nLynn Casteel Harper a minister\, chaplain\, and essayist. Her work has appeared in Kenyon Review Online\, North American Review\, and Catapult magazine. She is a Barbara Deming Fund grant recipient and the winner of the 2017 Orison Anthology Prize in Nonfiction. She lives in New York City and is currently the minister of older adults at The Riverside Church. \n2 – 3 p.m. Thursday April 8    Learn more and REGISTER: https://fryemuseum.org/program/creative_aging_workshops \nJoin Susan H. McFadden\, PhD\, author of Dementia-Friendly Communities: Why We Need Them and How We Can Create Them\, in conversation with Keri Pollock\, Director of Marketing and Communications\, Aging Wisdom. \nIntentional\, thoughtfully engaged dementia-friendly communities can give people with dementia the opportunity to continue living with purpose\, reciprocal personal relationships\, and enrichment. A positive thread throughout Dementia-Friendly Communities is that “underpinning successful dementia-friendly communities is an awareness of people with dementia as active citizens\, and the importance of supporting engagement in community life.” \nSusan H. McFadden\, PhD\, is an experienced researcher and practitioner in the field of dementia. She was formerly Professor of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh and co-founded Fox Valley Memory Project (FVMP)\, whose vision is to help create dementia-friendly communities. She is co-author\, with her husband John\, of “Aging Together: Dementia\, Friendship\, and Flourishing Communities.” \n 2 – 3 p.m. Thursday May 13    Learn more and REGISTER: https://fryemuseum.org/program/creative_aging_workshops \nJoin Anne Basting\, PhD\, author of Creative Care: A Revolutionary Approach to Dementia and Elder Care\, in conversation with Mary Jane Knecht\, Manager\, Creative Aging Programs\, Frye Art Museum. \nA MacArthur Genius Grant recipient\, Basting pioneers a radical change in how we interact with people who struggle with dementia. Basting’s proven methods use storytelling and active listening to stimulate the brain and awaken imagination. Rooted in twenty-five years of research\, “Creative Care” offers encouragement and creative techniques on how to bring connection\, light and joy to the lives of elders and to those who care for them. \nAnne Basting\, PhD is a leader in transforming aging and elder care and a recipient of a MacArthur Genius Grant. She is the founder of the nonprofit Timeslips\, which implements her innovative approach to memory care\, and is the author of three previous books\, “The Stages of Age\,” “Forget Memory\,” and “The Penelope Project.” Her work as founding director of University of Wisconsin Milwaukee’s Center for Age and Community was also featured in the PBS documentary “The Penelope Project” (2011).

SUMMARY:On Dementia: Care\, Community\, and Creativity: You’re Invited
DESCRIPTION:“On Dementia” Book Series Features Conversations with Leaders in Elder Care!  \nThe Frye Art Museum in Seattle\, WA\, in partnership with Aging Wisdom and the University of Washington Memory and Brain Wellness Center presents On Dementia: Care\, Community\, and Creativity\, a series of three conversations with leaders in elder care who have published books in 2020 that bring hope\, connection\, and joy to adults living with dementia\, their care partners\, families\, friends\, and those who provide support. Each program will be a Zoom webinar\, including an interview with the author\, readings from their new book\, and questions from the audience. Participants are not required to attend all three conversations in the series. \n2 – 3 p.m. Thursday March 11    Learn more and REGISTER: https://fryemuseum.org/program/creative_aging_workshops \nJoin Lynn Casteel Harper\, author of On Vanishing: Mortality\, Dementia\, and What It Means to Disappear\, in conversation with Marigrace Becker\, Program Manager\, Community Education and Impact\, UW Medicine Memory and Brain Wellness Center. \nExpanding our understanding of dementia beyond progressive vacancy and dread\, On Vanishing makes provides encouragement and meaningful examples of better ways of caring for\, and thinking about\, our fellow beings. Weaving together personal stories with theology\, history\, philosophy\, literature\, and science\, Harper confronts our elemental fears of disappearance and death\, drawing on her own experiences with people living with dementia both in the American healthcare system and within her own family. It is a rich and startling work of nonfiction that reveals cognitive change as an essential aspect of what it means to be mortal. \nLynn Casteel Harper a minister\, chaplain\, and essayist. Her work has appeared in Kenyon Review Online\, North American Review\, and Catapult magazine. She is a Barbara Deming Fund grant recipient and the winner of the 2017 Orison Anthology Prize in Nonfiction.

A positive thread throughout Dementia-Friendly Communities is that “underpinning successful dementia-friendly communities is an awareness of people with dementia as active citizens\, and the importance of supporting engagement in community life.” \nSusan H.
