With Dr. Saskia Sivananthan, healthcare leader and Affiliate Professor in the Department of Family Medicine at McGill University. The link between discrimination and your health is undeniable. Discrimination based on gender and other connected factors like our race and ability impacts our health in so many ways. For example, we get treated differently based on our gender in healthcare settings. Our access to relevant health services and options differs wildly depending on our gender. Even the medical research that gets funded and acted on depends on our gender.   May 28 is International Day of Action for Women's Health. For the next few episodes, we'll focus on gender and health matters.  Our guest Dr. Saskia Sivananthan is a healthcare leader and advocate building strategies and solutions for older adults. As Affiliate Professor in the Department of Family Medicine at McGill University and former Chief Research & Knowledge Translation Officer at the Alzheimer Society of Canada, she shines a spotlight on the needs of people living with dementia. In 2020, she was appointed to the federal Ministerial Advisory Board on Dementia, and she has worked with many bodies and organizations including the OECD. Dr. Sivananthan is a neuroscientist and health data scientist who has contributed to several international publications, articles, and reports.

As a practicing Registered Nurse with extensive experience working in acute, critical, and community care settings, Janet Lovegrove has heard many caregivers' stories about feeling alone, overwhelmed, or invisible when providing care to people living with dementia or other progressive life-limiting illnesses. Sensing a real need that what most of them wanted was to be heard, to belong, and to be appreciated, Janet found creative ways and practical solutions for helping them to tell their stories while building a base of resilience and support in themselves. In this episode, we explore that work. Janet shares practice tips and language we can use across practice settings to support caregivers of people living with serious life-limiting illnesses. In particular, Janet has facilitated the Life Process Transformation (TM) (LPT) program created by Viola Fodor, M.Ed., that invites caregivers to learn more about how to take care of themselves - in body, mind, and spirit. To that end, she has led a long standing project in Ontario, Canada funded by the Hamilton Niagara Haldimand Brant Home and Community Care Support Services and in collaboration with the Alzheimer Society of Brant, Haldimand Norfolk Hamilton Halton chapters.

The symbol acts a sign of solidarity for people with dementia and their families and also joins together all of the work and dedication that is happening locally to make an impact across the county.

Laura supports management of the Knowledge Exchange Platform. She has five years of experience in knowledge translation and mobilisation in the area of dementia, having previously worked for the Alzheimer Society of Canada supporting the developing and dissemination of dementia resources. In addition to consulting for the WHO Laura is in the fourth year of a dual degree program at McMaster University, Canada, in which she is completing a Master of Science Occupational Therapy and a PhD in Rehabilitation Sciences degrees in concurrently. Her research focuses on the evaluation of a Canadian dementia-inclusive community initiative. -- The Global Dementia Observatory (GDO) Knowledge Exchange Platform, also known as the GDO KE Platform, is a resource hub that facilitates the implementation of the Global action plan on the public health response to dementia 2017-2025. It offers various resources, such as policies, guidelines, case studies, and examples of good practices, which are freely available for stakeholders to share and learn from. Users can submit resources, which are then filtered based on strategic action areas, country-specific information, and resource types. A rigorous review process, involving peer reviewers, a Focus Group of individuals with lived experience of dementia, and the World Health Organization (WHO) Secretariat, ensures the quality and adherence to good practice criteria. Users can leave comments and ratings to foster discussion and improvement. The GDO KE Platform works alongside the GDO data portal, which gathers and disseminates data from Member States on 35 key dementia indicators, aiding evidence-based service planning and policy strengthening. The GDO serves as the monitoring and accountability mechanism for the Global action plan and supports the data portal.

Dementia is often mistakenly assumed to be a "given" as we grow older and today's guest debunks that myth. Our guest for this episode is Robin Hull, an education coordinator for the Alzheimer Society in Ontario, Canada who clarifies the difference between dementia and Alzheimer's and explains that there are many forms of dementia. She lists the warning signs of Alzheimer's and what you can do to prevent or slow down the onset of this disease and shares a variety of resources and supports that are available for both dementia patients as well as caregivers. Dave and Mary Ellen take a look at what resources and supports are available online wherever you live.

Whether as a patient, a caregiver, a neighbour or a friend, chances are, one day, we will all be touched by Alzheimer's or dementia. This disease steals our memories and cruelly robs us of our loved ones, often when we need them the most. But, there is hope and momentum in the world of Alzheimer's research. In fact, a new theory suggests that Alzheimer's could even be an autoimmune disease. In this episode of Your Complex Brain, we speak with Dr. Donald Weaver and Dr. Saskia Sivananthan. We'll also hear from Lindsay Bongard-Batori, who lost her mother Barbara to Alzheimer's. Featuring: Dr. Donald Weaver – Neurologist, medicinal chemist & Senior Scientist with the Krembil Brain Institute at UHN.

In this episode, your host Amy Milne gets real with Shelley Mayer, Founder & President of Ramp Communications Inc., a marketing & communications agency focused on transforming brands into human-centered industry-leading agents of growth and change. After a career in the automotive industry, Shelley started her own company because she saw an opportunity to help organizations amplify and scale their impact. Like Amy, Shelley believes wholeheartedly that an event concept has to be intentionally linked to your organization's brand and overall strategy. Oh, and the marketing should look good too! Shelley highlights a couple of events that she has helped transform, including a Peer-to-Peer Walk for the Alzheimer Society which is a great example of how pivoting to a virtual event during the pandemic opened the door to new audiences for the organization. Make sure you listen to the end to hear Shelley's top pieces of advice for how to make your events better, including why moving away from a federated model could save your non-profit precious time and money.To check out the awesome work that Ramp does, book a consultation or connect with Shelley directly, head to ramp.agency."The opportunity I see is not thinking about the event in a vacuum. I think we need to think about our brand, and our organization and our message and how we're engaging people." - Shelley MayerConnect with us:Beyond Fundraising Inc: https://www.startingbeyond.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amy-milne-8946791/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/milneamyr/https://www.instagram.com/startbeyond/

Founded as a small-town department store in Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada, Silverts gained a strong following by focusing on customer service and quality. Soon that one store was not enough, and by the 1960s, Silverts had expanded into a chain of stores across southwestern Ontario. The company realized that as people aged, their need for service increased. Silverts started getting calls from Retirement and Long Term Care facilities, and soon realized there were many customers with clothing needs the market had neglected. Silverts turned its attention to adaptive clothing, becoming one of the first companies to focus solely on people with dressing difficulties. Because so many preferred to shop at home, Silverts created a mail order catalog, and in time, an online store. In 2019, Silverts was acquired by Careismatic Brands, the world leader in healthcare apparel and footwear with a growing portfolio of health-oriented brands and products.
