Just a reminder that all in-person support events have been suspended due to the COVID-19 /Coronavirus pandemic. To support our Parkinson’s community, PSN offers three online (via Zoom) support options each month:
Learn how to become a dementia friend and turn your new understanding of dementia into a practical action that can help someone living in your community.
AFTER PARTICIPATING IN A DEMENTIA FRIENDS SESSION, PARTICIPANTS CAN:
• Describe dementia and know the most common type of dementia
• State the five key messages about dementia
• Explain one approach to effectively communicate with a person with dementia
• Commit to an action as a Dementia Friend in your community
Dementia Friendly Fairfax envisions our community as a place where people living with dementia and their care partners will be able to engage in a variety of activities, be supported in the highest quality of life, and can live independently for as long as possible.
During the first half of this webinar, from the Davis Phinney Foundation, Dr. Laurie Santos (Yale University) discussed what new results in psychological science teach us about:
During the second half of the webinar, Davis Phinney and Connie Carpenter Phinney helped us unpack what we learned and opened the floor for questions. At the end, we offered some ideas for “rewirement” activities to help you create new happiness habits, boost your mood, and improve your overall well-being.
After watching the video (first hour), there will be a 30 minute volunteer-led discussion of the webinar.
Do you have a non-medical support and care team? Maybe some of the team members have 4 legs instead of 2?
Join us as we discuss and share our support and care team that you find outside of health care professionals. Led by Karl Robb, this discussion is facilitated by people who have experience living with Parkinson’s disease.
