Supporting 2SLGBTQI+ Seniors with Dementia/Mild Cognitive Impairment: The Canadian Context
Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the importance of language and be provided with resources for accessing a 2SLGBTQI+ common language glossary. We will then focus on seniors and the context of historical discrimination experienced by many 2SLGBTQI+ seniors. We will examine disparities related to 2SLGBTQI+ seniors mental health and physical health, based on literature and based on the experiences of these elders. We will then apply what we've learned to 2SLGBTQI+ elders who are experiencing dementia/mild cognitive impairment, with the goal of leaving with multiple clinical pearls.

Creating a Life Story
Join Christene Gordon, Lead of Client Services at the Alzheimer Society of Alberta and NWT as she leads you the essential elements of developing a "Life Story". Creating a "Life Story" can help us to learn about what the person values in life, what they see as important in themselves, in others, and in the world around them. However, it is important that we recognize that people continue to change, as do their tastes, opinions and interests. It is important that life story work is seen as a process, and not a one-of.

Communication is key when it comes to helping support someone living with dementia, but communication is more than us speaking to a person. Join us to learn other communication strategies.
