THE FOLLOWING STEPS

One of my main goals upon my returning to Portugal and my home in Sesimbra is to implement my own project to support elderly people and build a multidisciplinary center including health care, arts, entertainment and education in particular for training new carers.
In the meanwhile I am still open and available for accepting offers for jobs related with my skills and experience as a professional and certified international carer. So I have been contacting a number of international agencies, including the United Kingdom (where I've been for a few years), expressing my willingness to accept a work as a live-in carer, although for relatively short periods (two consecutive months the maximum).
Also from some international agencies I have received much understanding regarding my own project in Portugal and in some cases the manifestation of their interest in being part of it, either in partnership or taking advantage of my qualifications for a possible representation of them.

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.

THE DEMENTIA FORUM X 2019

The third Dementia Forum X took place on May 15, 2019, at the Royal Palace of Stockholm. We were humbled by the presence of more than a hundred and thirty of the world’s leading business executives, policy-makers and key stakeholders from the sectors of society, care, research, finance, and business. We are grateful to Their Majesties Queen Silvia of Sweden and Queen Sofia of Spain, Her Imperial Highness Princess Takamado of Japan, Her Royal Highness Princess Sofia of Sweden, and First Ladies of Iceland, Mrs. Eliza Reid, and Chile, Mrs. Cecilia Morel for their presence at the event. This year we focused on three themes: Finance, Innovation and Women’s Brain Health. It was our privilege to be the platform for the launch of the World Health Organizations's Guidelines for Dementia Risk Reduction, and the Swedish launch of the #BeBrainPowerful campaign.  For the first time ever, we also had an open mic session where three lucky participants had the opportunity to take the stage for three minutes and speak about any topic. We thank our partners for their support of Dementia Forum X and look forward to welcoming all the participants once again in 2021!
