We are so thrilled to be part of @reimaginingdementia!

Please enjoy the trailer for our song “Let’s Reimagine” which is the centerpiece of our new awareness campaign. We hope to inspire re-thinking and re-creating our thoughts, attitudes and behaviours around dementia.

Special kudos to @robingertin1 who, along with people living with dementia & others, coordinated this song/video project. And a big shoutout to @funkyginger for lending his musical genius to this project.

Come join us for the launch of the entire song/video. Today at 12pm ET. Registration via link in @reimaginingdementia bio. by @thegoodconversations

Happy Alzheimer’s Awareness Month everybody!

We’re celebrating all that we’ve learned from and how our lives have been enriched by our relationships with people living with dementia. by @thegoodconversations

We frequently get asked “what activities are good for someone living with dementia?” and also “how do you keep someone with dementia busy?”

Here is our first recommendation:
Create a dementia-friendly schedule.

When your loved one living with dementia is experiencing change, a schedule can provide a useful framework to provide structure, consistency, decrease stress and provide a sense of comfort and control.

#Dementia #DementiaAwareness by @thegoodconversations

At The Good Conversations we recognize that the holiday season - now more than ever - can be a challenging time for people living with dementia and their carepartners. Scheduled activities and/or appointments may be put on hold. Visitors of friends or family who are not part of our loved one's daily routine may arrive either for short or in house visits. And our life-long rituals of events, baking, meals that have defined holiday time and brought us comfort and joy in the past rub up against our new lives.

Learn more and find resources for these challenging times on our latest blog post (link in bio)

Introducing:

"Let’s talk about …A new series of good conversations about creativity and aging"

Recently we sat down and talked about some favourite easy, kind ways to be creative every day. We know, from our over 30+ combined years of professional experience, that participating in the expressive arts like singing, dancing, visual art, writing and drama improvisation can engage and uplift people of all ages and abilities. And the best part? The benefits have nothing to do with skill or experience, but have everything to do with enjoying the process.

Today is World Mental Health Day.

The Good Conversations recognizes that in order to support others, we need to take care of ourselves - not just our physical health but our mental/emotional health as well.

We think that's worth talking about...everyday.

If you or someone you know is in need of mental health support (in Canada), please visit the link in our bio to access resources.
