Working with seven amazing interns at Hope for Dementia this summer was an enriching experience! Our interns are enrolled in CGEP and University with intentions of going further in diverse fields of study that, in some cases, are not directly related to the mission of Hope for Dementia. From their feedback, it was clear that they appreciated the experience, which supported the development of critical skills for their future careers. ✍🏻 Simplifying scientific information for social media posts and resource material for seniors is a critical skill for one aspiring medical doctor. 💰 Organizing fund raising events supported the leadership skills of another intern who is studying to become an electrical engineer. 🙏🏻 Writing applications for financial grants gave a future occupational therapist some good experience for a future career in the social services sector. 🛍 An intern who is not quite sure about his future career, excelled at sourcing supplies for a project within budget. 💹 Results of A/B tests, fund raising campaigns and graphic designs of communications provide practical, real world experience for interns studying business management. The diverse perspectives, probing questions and high energy that the interns brought to work, made for an enriching experience for my colleagues and me! Thank you and best wishes for success to Hiral K. Kian Famili Darius Z. Kourosh Ziaie Davoudi Amal Alkhoury Eyad Fallouh Thierry Lagace . #leadership #mentorship #workexperience

Bonne journée internationale de la jeunesse ! En cette Journée internationale de la jeunesse, célébrons le pouvoir des liens. Les jeunes sont les futurs aidants des personnes atteintes de démence. En les dotant de connaissances et de compassion, nous pouvons créer un meilleur avenir. C'est là qu'intervient le Programme d'apprentissage intergénérationnel d'Espoir pour la démence. Ce programme novateur comble le fossé entre les générations en favorisant des liens significatifs. Nos jeunes bénévoles férus de technologie deviennent des guides numériques pour les aînés, tandis que nos sages aînés partagent leurs expériences de vie et leur sagesse. Les jeunes acquièrent une précieuse sensibilisation à la démence et développent des compétences d'aidant, tandis que les aînés profitent d'interactions sociales, de stimulation mentale et de la possibilité d'apprendre de nouvelles technologies. Joignez-vous au programme d'apprentissage intergénérationnel d'Espoir pour la démence et faites partie de la solution! Ensemble, encourageons les jeunes et soutenons les aînés, pour un avenir meilleur dans la lutte contre la démence.

Some more findings on dementia risk factors which are modifiable. High cholesterol and failing eyesight, particularly during mid-life.
Another update to the ground breaking Lancet report, which first set the stage for taking a population approach to brain health and reducing the risk of dementia has just been released. The core factors remain the same, but two additional risk factors have been added, addressing deteriorating eye sight and lowering high cholesterol. In all, investing in significant changes to lifestyle at the individual level, and taking a population approach to preventing dementia is clearer than ever. The full report is 👇 Follow us as we break the report down further over the next few days!
