SUMMARY:Dementia Friends Champion Training
DESCRIPTION:Dementia Friends is a global movement that is changing the way people think\, act\, and talk about dementia.

This is not a clinical training about dementia.  \nPresenter: Christy Nishita\, Ph.D. is a Gerontologist at the University of Hawaiʻi Center on Aging. She received her Ph.D. in Gerontology from the University of Southern California. Her focus is on improving community-based long-term care\, dementia care systems\, workforce development in aging\, and intergenerational programming. She is the co-founder and co-coordinator of the Kupuna Collective\, a statewide network of over 200 kupuna-serving organizations who are incubating new thinking and action in the aging network. She is the consultant for the Mayor’s Age-Friendly Honolulu Initiative\, which is creating more inclusive and equitable communities in Honolulu.

SUMMARY:From Awareness to Action: Community Health Workers Supporting Brain Health and People living with Dementia
DESCRIPTION:Join the BOLD Public Health Centers of Excellence\, the Alzheimer’s Association\, and the National Association of Community Health Workers (NACHW) to explore how CHWs can serve as trusted dementia resources in the communities they serve. \nCommunity health workers are uniquely positioned to support brain health across the full continuum of prevention from reducing risk before symptoms appear\, to recognizing early warning signs\, to supporting families already navigating a diagnosis. Activities like promoting risk reduction strategies such as cardiovascular health\, social engagement\, and sleep (primary prevention)\, connecting families to dementia specialists for early evaluation (secondary prevention)\, and linking households to ongoing care and support resources (tertiary prevention) all show the vital role CHWs play in brain health across their communities. \nThis webinar will equip CHWs with practical tools\, actionable strategies\, and foundational knowledge to confidently contribute to healthy brain efforts at every stage wherever they work. \nDuring the session\, you will: \n\nLearn about brain health\, dementia\, and resources to share with community members.\nUnderstand how brain health and dementia care relate to CHW core competencies and goals.\nLearn how CHWs can facilitate direct referrals to dementia specialists and Alzheimer’s Association resources.\nAccess ready-to-use tools and resources to support community outreach.

SUMMARY:Research Workshop on Comprehensive Dementia Care Models: GUIDE and Other Models
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of this one-day virtual workshop is to bring together experts in the field to include current NIH grantees and future NIH applicants focused on the GUIDE model and/or other comprehensive dementia care models. The workshop will discuss differential access to GUIDE\, impact of payment models in quality of care or access to care\, and additional data that could be beneficial to researchers or GUIDE model healthcare providers. Furthermore\, the workshop will address comprehensive dementia care models’ utility and challenges across the full disease continuum. The workshop participants will identify potential research opportunities for dementia care coordination models and discuss available and needed data to address research gaps. Outputs should also inform researchers\, patients\, families\, health systems\, and federal partners working with GUIDE and other dementia care coordination programs.

SUMMARY:Dementia\, Restraints\, and the Regs
DESCRIPTION:Healthcare Association of Hawaii is hosting this webinar. Providing care to those living with dementia in nursing facility settings can be complex and rewarding. Having an understanding of various approaches to deal with challenging behaviors is important and impactful to the resident’s quality of life. \nBest practice standards indicate that dementia behaviors should be managed without the use of physical or chemical restraints; however\, when they are deemed necessary staff members must have knowledge of current CMS regulations and documentation requirements. The interdisciplinary team must make efforts to reduce psychotropic drug use as appropriate and provide compassionate and person-centered care in compliance with regulatory standards. \nJoin us as we examine strategies to manage challenging behaviors from those living with dementia and discuss physical and chemical restraints\, documentation standards\, interdisciplinary approaches\, and maintaining quality of life in accordance with regulatory compliance. \n\n\nLearning Objectives\n\n\n\n\n\n1. Define and describe consequences of physical and chemical restraints\n2. Identify strategies to mitigate physical restraint use\n3. Describe CMS regulatory requirements related to psychotropic drug use\n4. Explore how to apply practice strategies to facilitate the reduction of psychotropic drug use \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTarget Audience\n\n\n\n\n\nInterdisciplinary team members working in post-acute and long-term care settings \n\n\nSpeaker: Aida Wen\, MD\, CMD\, Geriatrician and Associate Professor\, University of Hawaii at Manoa\, John A. Burns School of Medicine
