SUMMARY:Why Do I Feel This Way? Understanding Grief in Dementia Caregiving
DESCRIPTION:Caregiving can bring profound emotional challenges. If you’re ever wondering why simple tasks feel so overwhelming\, why you feel so isolated or why you experience anger or tears unexpectedly in your caregiving journey\, you’re not alone. Alongside the physical demands\, caregivers often face complex emotions tied to grief and loss. This webinar will explore how these feelings manifest and provide you with valuable insights into managing them. \nOCO is pleased to welcome the Alzheimer Society of Ontario\, who will guide us through the unique ways that grief and loss affect caregiving. In this session\, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of:\n• The different types of grief\, including ambiguous\, anticipatory\, and disenfranchised grief\n• How to recognize and process the complex emotions that arise while caring for someone with dementia\n• Practical tools and strategies for you to manage these emotions\, along with information on finding support in your community \nOur presenting organization: The Alzheimer Society of Ontario offers programs and services to help people living with dementia\, care partners\, and healthcare professionals get the support they need most.

SUMMARY:Cultural Perspectives on Caregiving: Stories of Strength & Support

This webinar will take a closer look at how caregiving is experienced across different cultures.

They’re designed to empower and support caregivers from all backgrounds. \nOur Speakers:\nIndus Community Services is an accredited\, not-for-profit community benefit organization that has served local communities for 40 years. The agency is a registered charity supported by its donors and by all three levels of government. Indus\, through its professional staff of 150+ personnel\, are leaders in providing culturally appropriate services to newcomers\, families\, women and seniors. \nRegion of Peel Building Caregiver Capacity Collaborative (BCCC) and Social Prescribing Pilot: Region of Peel (ROP) has been delivering a wide range of resident focused programs and services to enhance Peel’s communities for over 50 years.
