Health: Tips to Help You Prevent Falls

Duration icon
Duration: 90 Minutes
This event is part of AARP's Nationwide Virtual Community Center

Description
Get tips on how to avoid falls, a leading cause of injury and death among older
adults.

About the Event
An aging body means that while a fall in your 40s may result in a non-injury,
the outcome can be severe in your 70s or 80s. Preventing falls among older
adults is a life-saving strategy, in fact.

And falls often can be prevented. Join Ann Church and Maria Francis for a
workshop designed to help ease participants’ fear of falling and encourage
increased activity to improve strength, balance and stability. It will focus on:

The importance of an exercise routine
The importance of speaking up and being assertiv 
A review of medications, hearing and vision issues
Positive interactions with healthcare providers and family
Modifications to make a home safer

Advance Care Planning Made Easy

Phone: 877-926-8300
envelope icon
For questions, contact AARP TX at txaarp@aarp.org
Duration icon
Duration: 90 Minutes
This event is part of AARP's Nationwide Virtual Community Center

About the Event
According to a national survey, 90% of people say that talking with their loved
ones about end-of-life care is important, but only 27% have done so. The
result is that too many people are dying in ways they wouldn’t choose, often
leaving loved ones feeling guilty and uncertain. 

Thinking and talking about end-of-life choices can be tough, but discussing
how you choose to live at the end of life with loved ones and health care
professionals has proven to reduce stress for everyone. Far better to have
these conversations at the kitchen table than in the intensive care unit during
a medical crisis. This series, “Advance Care Planning Made Easy: How to
Decide, Discuss and Document Your End-of-Life Wishes,” can help.

This session will address the first step: how to decide what care you want at
the end of your life and who you want to speak for you if you are unable to
speak for yourself.

Stress Management 1 Day Training in Phoenix, AZ
13-Aug
9am - 5pm MDT

About this event
18 km away
Certificate: Course Completion Certificate
Language: English
Duration: 1 Day
Credits: 8
Course Delivery: Classroom/ Virtual Live / Onsite
Course Overview:
Stress Management Training has been developed to help you identify the
causes and effects of stress and to assist you in developing the skills required
to manage stress in your own life.

Course Contents:
The word ‘stress’ is used to describe the physical and/or emotional response
to the demands and pressures that modern living means we come under from
time to time.

Stress can be a positive thing, which drives us on and helps us to grow,
develop, and be stimulated. However, when stress reaches a certain level, it
can overcome a person’s ability to cope and can impact their physical and
mental health.

The focus is on the positive things that they can do to make changes in their
life which will reduce the impact that ”bad” stress places on them.

This specific workshop is funded through a grant from the City of Phoenix, and our goal is to outreach residents and professionals within Greater Phoenix areas. This session is for City of Phoenix employees.

The Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) evidence-based workshop is for caregivers who want to feel more comfortable, confident, and competent in helping to prevent the immediate risk of suicide. Over two million caregivers have received this training worldwide and it is the gold standard for suicide intervention. Just as ""CPR"" skills make physical first aid possible, training in suicide intervention develops the skills needed for life assisting suicide first aid. ASIST is a two-day intensive, interactive, and practice-dominated course designed to help caregivers learn how to intervene to prevent the immediate risk of suicide and provide safety-for-now.

The workshop is designed for all caregivers (any person over 16 in a position of trust). This includes professionals, para-professionals, and lay people. It is suitable for mental health professionals, nurses, physicians, pharmacists, teachers, counselors, youth workers, police and correctional staff, school support staff, clergy, and community volunteers. In ASIST, sophisticated helping concepts are translated into generic language so that different types of caregivers can learn together. ASIST is the most widely used suicide intervention training program in the world. Additional information including CEU resources is available online at http://www.livingworks.net.

Please note: Participation in the full two days is required; any partial absences will result in participant having to retake course from the beginning.

Cost: Mercy Care believes in supporting communities to be safer from suicide, and is therefore supplementing all costs of the training. The average value of this two-day course is $285 per person and you may see it offered elsewhere for a fee. This specific workshop is funded through a grant from the City of Phoenix, and our goal is to outreach residents and professionals within Greater Phoenix areas.

Course Delivery: Classroom/ Virtual Live / Onsite

Course Overview:

Stress Management Training has been developed to help you identify the causes and effects of stress and to assist you in developing the skills required to manage stress in your own life.

Course Contents:

The word ‘stress’ is used to describe the physical and/or emotional response to the demands and pressures that modern living means we come under from time to time.

Stress can be a positive thing, which drives us on and helps us to grow, develop, and be stimulated. However, when stress reaches a certain level, it can overcome a person’s ability to cope and can impact their physical and mental health.

The focus is on the positive things that they can do to make changes in their life which will reduce the impact that ”bad” stress places on them.

This is experience is designed to create space for you to listen deeply to your own soul, as you connect to your Highest Self, release stress, balance your energy, and awaken your mind, body and spirit in new ways.

No experience necessary- all are welcome! Come as you are and if you can, with an open mind and a willingness to explore the transformative power of sound.

If you can, please bring a yoga mat, pillow, pen and two cozy blankets. Some will be provided at the space. This will be held at 13651 North 32nd Street, Phoenix, AZ 85032.(Rest Recovery Office, Corner Suite)

Bending, Not Breaking: Healthcare Leadership in a Time of Crisis
June 27 th,2024 
4.30PM  -6.00 PM MST

About this event

1 hour 30 minutes

Program Description:

Preparing for an unplanned or unexpected event, such as a natural disaster, pandemic, civil disturbances, medical error, or labor disputes (e.g., union labor) causes physical, psychological and emotional stresses that can overwhelm employees, medical staff, patients and communities. In the event of a crisis, the quality and efficiency of care delivery may be challenged and typically takes a toll on every part of the organization. Lack of the unknown or uncertainty is also a challenge that healthcare leaders face in the time of crisis. Healthcare leaders need to understand ways to prepare their organization for unforeseen circumstances, which includes developing a communication plan, managing organizationalresources, such as medical supplies, levels of patient care and leveraging local and state resources and funding.

This panel discussion will provide insight and perspectives on ways to manage an unforeseen crisis within the healthcare organization and its community. It will include how healthcare leaders can better prepare and respond to a community or healthcare crisis, health surge event, or unanticipated response.

support@eewebinarnetwork.com
Phone: (406) 442-2585The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) reports that there are now as many hospice admissions for people with Alzheimer’s disease (and related disorders) as there are for people with cancer. This dynamic requires specialized skills and approaches for all members of the interdisciplinary team, including - and maybe especially - volunteers. In addition to the standardized initial training volunteers receive, it is now vital that volunteers are prepared for situations that include people with memory impairment, the inability to communicate verbally, the incapacity to focus and/or pay attention, or with diminished reasoning and judgment. This webinar will explore ways volunteers can become more comfortable and effective in these situations.

Highlights
Distinguish between four Alzheimer’s-related disorders
Understand the volunteer’s role when working with people with dementia, Alzheimer's, and strokes
Explain the unique challenges for families when caring for someone with ADRD
Itemize 10 ways to communicate with a person who has a form of dementia
List five ways volunteers can be useful when a patient is no longer able to communicate verbally

Take Away Tool Kit
Organizational assessment exercise
Self-assessment exercise
10 tips for communicating with a person with dementia
Guide to assist caregivers
Handout with lecture notes and additional learning opportunities
List of references and additional resources
Training log
PDF of slides and speaker’s contact info for follow-up questions
Attendance certificate provided, however there are no pre-approved CEs associated with this webinar
Who Should Attend
This informative webinar is designed for volunteers and volunteer managers. It will also be beneficial for nursing assistants and all members of the team wanting to learn more about how to better support and assist people with ADRD and their caregivers.

4:00 to 6:00PM MST

"Centenarian Dr. Gladys McGarey shares her book, filled with life-changing secrets for how to live with joy, vitality, and purpose at any age. In conversation with Rita Davenport. 

ABOUT THE LIVE EVENT 
Ticket purchase (includes book) via Eventbrite is required. 
All tickets are general admission. 

ABOUT THE BOOK 
Dr. Gladys McGarey, a centenarian still-consulting doctor and the mother of holistic medicine, reveals “a story that teaches as much as it inspires” (Edith Eger, New York Times bestselling author), filled with life-changing secrets for how to live with joy, vitality, and purpose at any age.

Dr. Gladys McGarey, cofounder of the American Holistic Medical Association, began her medical practice at a time when women couldn’t even have their own bank accounts. Over the past sixty years, she has pioneered a new way of thinking about disease and health that has transformed the way we imagine health care and self-care around the world. 

On these pages, Dr. McGarey shares her six actionable secrets to enjoying lives that are long, happy, and purpose-driven: 

-Spend your energy wildly: How to embrace your life fully and feel motivated every day. 
-All life needs to move: How to move—spiritually, mentally, and physically—to help let go of trauma and other roadblocks. 
-You are here for a reason: How to find the everyday “juice” that helps you stay oriented in your life’s purpose. 
-You are never alone: How to build a community that’s meaningful to you. 
-Everything is your teacher: Discover the deep learnings that come from pain and setbacks. 
-Love is the most powerful medicine: Learn to love yourself—and others—into healing. 

In a voice that is both practical and inspiring, Dr. McGarey shares her own extraordinary stories and eternal wisdom—from her early childhood in India and a chance encounter with Mahatma Gandhi to her life as a physician and a mother of six, to her survival of both heartbreak and illness. Dr. Gladys shares her inspiring vision for a healthier and more joyful future for us all, filled with “rich and complex truths that will resonate with readers’ hearts and minds” (Dr. Robert Waldinger, New York Times bestselling author)."

Games, Art, and Jewelry Making With Seniors (PHX)
April 13th, 2024
1:00PM to 3:30PM (GMT-07:00)

"Games, Art, and Jewelry Making With Seniors (PHX) 
SATURDAY AFTERNOON (APRIL 13TH) at 1:00 PM our amazing Who I Am Foundation volunteers in #Phoenix will be going back to play Games, Art, and Jewelry Making with the residents of Ventana Winds Retirement Home! 

Ventana Winds Retirement Home is located at 12322 N 113th Ave, Youngtown, AZ 85363

Children are welcome and encouraged to participate! 

Whether young or old, games connect us with those around us in an entertaining and meaningful way. 

Playing games is not just for children. It’s a fun, engaging, and stress relieving activity that should be practiced by all of us, even in old age. Seniors can experience a number of benefits depending on the type of game being played. The advantages can range anywhere from a sharper memory to better fine motor skills. 

Playing games also encourages interaction with others, exercise the brain, reduces the risk of cognitive decline, and creates more happiness. 

The consistency of seeing other people prevents isolation and loneliness, which are both so common among the elderly population. 

To volunteer, simply comment below!
