Oregon Care Partners: Teepa Snow Workshop: Transforming the Journey of Dementia - Learning to Reframe Behavior as Communication
Oregon Convention Center No Cost!
To register please visit:
https://oregoncarepartners.com/classes
This workshop will help you:
•Learn how people living with dementia communicate their needs and feelings through challenging behaviors as the ability to use language is lost, and how to change resistance by using support, skill, and options that work!
• Learn how becoming a detective instead of a judge will help you figure out what might be driving the behavior and help you make a positive difference by choosing a positive approach to care.
• Use Teepa’s GEMS®: Brain Change Model to understand behaviors as they relate to stages of dementia including Alzheimer’s.
• Learn how understanding an individual's unique preferences or needs will help you partner and "work with" a person living with dementia when they are behaving in a way that is surprising.

Our Great Working Relationship Part 3 - side by side
Developmental Disabilities
This Side by Side module is the third part in a three-part series. It has been designed to help you and the people who support you learn how to have a great working relationship.
Power is the ability to control how things happen. Being in charge of our life gives us power. As we grow up and gradually get more control over our lives, we also learn about the responsibility that comes along with it. But it does not matter how much power and responsibility we assume - none of us are able to live totally independently. We all need the support of others to get by.
This module will discuss some of the things you can think about when taking charge of your own life and some of the ways your staff can support you as you gradually learn the balance of power, control, responsibility, and interdependence.
This module features presentations from many leading professionals and self-advocates, including Patti Scott, Jeremy Donaldson, and Natalia Manning.
After completing this module, you will be able to:
Understand what it means to be in the "driver’s seat" of your life.
Learn the role of responsibility.
Understand the right to fail.
Learn how to see and understand each other's gifts.
Understand why we should never assume.

Accepting the Concept of Compassion Fatugue
support@myfreece.com
The concept of compassion fatigue is a term used to represent the cost of caring about and for traumatized people. It is the emotional residue of exposure to working with the suffering, particularly those suffering from the consequences of traumatic events. Professionals who work with people, particularly those who are suffering, must contend with not only the “normal” levels of stress or dissatisfaction with work, but also with emotional and personal feelings for the suffering. Nurses are among the professionals especially vulnerable to compassion fatigue along with emergency care workers, counselors, mental health professionals, medical professionals, clergy, advocate volunteers, and human service workers. Do you ever feel as though you are losing your sense of self to the clients you serve? Have you experienced lingering feelings of helplessness, frustration, or anger, especially following a particularly stressful situation? Do you feel too tired, have you become more cynical, or feel very isolated and alone? You may be suffering from compassion fatigue.
Objectives:
1. Be able to define cardinal signs of compassion fatigue.
2. Recognize symptoms related to anxiety and depression
3. Be aware of nurses’ vulnerability to compassion fatigue
4. Assess personal risk for compassion fatigue
