Introduction
Welcome, and thank you for joining me in this short, online course.
I am your lead educator for this course, Jolene Brackey, and in this introductory video I will explain the basis of my philosophy about working with people with Alzheimer’s: creating simple moments of joy. I am an international speaker on Alzheimer’s disease and author of the book Creating Moments of Joy Along the Alzheimer’s Journey which includes a small portion of content from this course as well as plenty of additional examples, stories, quotes … and humor.
About this course
There are two weeks to this course, and each one contains videos, short excerpts from my book, and opportunities for discussion. Each week should take you no longer than two hours to complete with full participation, and you are of course free to move as quickly or slowly as your time allows.
While a few pieces of content come from my book, those pieces will be provided in the course and do not require any type of purchase or upcharge.
Every person with Alzheimer’s is completely different and your experiences with this person, in each moment, are your true teacher. However, we as caregivers, family members, or friends can find common threads that bind us together, help us through tough times, help us learn how to create joyous times, and give us a bit of hope. On most steps in this course, you are encouraged to post your own comments, tell your own stories, reflect, and ask questions to others who may be sharing similar experiences.
Let’s look beyond the challenges of Alzheimer’s and focus on creating moments of joy.
