DESCRIPTION:\n	Offered by the Health and Wellness Program in collaboration w
 ith the Dementia Education Program\, as part of the 13th Annual Health and
  Wellness Fair for 91社区 Faculty & Staff\n\n\nWith one in four Canadians 
 currently providing care for family members or friends with a long-term co
 ndition\, a physical or mental disability\, or problems related to aging\,
  caregivers play an essential role in our society. They are the ones who\,
  on a daily basis\, make sure that their loved one鈥攖heir spouse\, parent\,
  child\, sibling\, or friend鈥攈as what they need to stay safe\, healthy and
  loved.\n\nBut taking on the responsibility of caregiver to a family membe
 r or friend often means balancing the competing demands of life\, such as 
 working\, raising children and maintaining healthy relationships. It may i
 nvolve performing tasks that can be emotionally and physically demanding. 
 Unfortunately\, very few caregivers know how to navigate the system and lo
 cate the necessary resources to sustain them. As well\, many caregivers ma
 intain a strong fa莽ade and ignore their own limitations\, which can have a
  profound impact their health and well-being.\n\nIn this presentation\, Cl
 aire Webster\, former caregiver and founder of the 91社区 Demen
 tia Education Program\, will talk about the challenges that she encountere
 d and share lessons learned based on her personal journey as caregiver to 
 her late mother who passed away from Alzheimer鈥檚 disease in 2016. Claire w
 ill talk about how this experience inspired her to become a strong advocat
 e for dementia care and led to her partnering with a multidisciplinary tea
 m at 91社区 to develop innovative free educational resources designed to s
 upport people living with dementia and their care partners. The session wi
 ll include an interactive question and answer period.\n\nThe learning obje

  of caregiver.\n	Share best practices to ensure their own well-being.\n	Disc
 uss how to create a safe home environment.\n	Provide reliable information a
