SUMMARY:The Only Constant is Change: Building Your Support Plan
DESCRIPTION:This workshop addresses the reality that change is constant when living with or supporting someone with dementia. Without preparation and education\, families often find themselves in crisis during transitions. Learn what transitions to expect throughout the dementia journey and how to assess your current resources before you need them. Join for practical ways to build support networks\, research services\, and create flexible plans that offer adaptations as needs change. Attendees will gain tools to prepare for unknown but inevitable changes\, making challenges less overwhelming by planning ahead.

SUMMARY:Living with Uncertainty: Finding Your Footing
DESCRIPTION:This workshop explores the uncertainty that accompanies aging and cognitive changes\, whether before\, during\, or after a diagnosis of a form of dementia. Participants will examine common assumptions and responses that can unintentionally increase distress. The session offers practical approaches to assess what is happening and take meaningful action without waiting for clarity. Recognizing how you navigate uncertainty is one of the most important skills when supporting someone living with dementia or experiencing changes yourself.

SUMMARY:When Uncertainty Becomes Anxiety: Recognizing What's Building
DESCRIPTION:This workshop explores how unresolved uncertainty can develop into anxiety\, for those supporting someone living with dementia and for those experiencing cognitive changes themselves. Participants will look at how anxiety shows up\, why it often goes unrecognized\, and how it can move between the person living with dementia and the person providing support. The session offers practical ways to notice what’s building and respond before it escalates. Whether you are joining for the first time or building on the March session\, this is one of the most common yet least discussed experiences in dementia support.

SUMMARY:When Anxiety Turns to Fear: Understanding Aggression in Dementia
DESCRIPTION:This workshop explores what can happen when anxiety goes unrecognized\, for the person living with dementia and for those providing support. Participants will look at how feeling overwhelmed or fearful can drive responses that get labelled as aggression. Those responses often tell you something important\, if you know how to read them. The session offers practical ways to read the situation differently and respond to fear rather than react to behavior. Whether you are joining for the first time or following the series from uncertainty through anxiety\, this session offers a different way to understand what is happening when things feel most out of control.

SUMMARY:Parkinson's at Home: Recognizing It\, Understanding It\, Strategies for Ongoing Support 
DESCRIPTION:Parkinson’s affects more families than many of us realize\, and the early signs can be easy to miss. This workshop is for those supporting a person living with Parkinson’s at home. Together\, we will look at three things: how to recognize the signs and symptoms\, what Parkinson’s is as a lived experience\, and practical strategies you can use to assist\, adjust\, and adapt as the condition changes over time.

SUMMARY:Why the Words We Use Will Matter: Respectful Language When Discussing Dementia
DESCRIPTION:If you are supporting someone living with dementia\, the words you use every day matter more than you might think. This workshop explores three questions together: what do we mean by language in dementia\, why does it matter\, and how can we speak in ways that are respectful\, productive\, and proactive? Come away with practical ideas you can use right away\, and a fresh perspective on something you are already doing every day.
