Stress Management 1 Day Training in Phoenix, AZ
10-Sep
9am - 5pm MDT
About this event
18 km away
Certificate: Course Completion Certificate
Language: English
Duration: 1 Day
Credits: 8
Course Delivery: Classroom/ Virtual Live / Onsite
Course Overview:
Stress Management Training has been developed to
help you identify the causes and effects of stress and to
assist you in developing the skills required to manage
stress in your own life.
Course Contents:
The word ‘stress’ is used to describe the physical and/or
emotional response to the demands and pressures that
modern living means we come under from time to time.
Stress can be a positive thing, which drives us on and
helps us to grow, develop, and be stimulated. However,
when stress reaches a certain level, it can overcome a
person’s ability to cope and can impact their physical
and mental health.
The focus is on the positive things that they can do to
make changes in their life which will reduce the impact
that ”bad” stress places on them.

Leading with Awareness: Strategies to Combat Implicit Bias in Healthcare
27-Sep
8 - 10am MST
About this event
Event lasts 2 hours
Program Description:
The communities for which healthcare organizations
operate are rapidly diversifying. Not only do they
provide care for a diverse community of patients and
families, but their workforce is also growing more
diverse. It is incumbent on healthcare organizations and
their leaders to both understand and embrace the needs
of diverse populations. Their ability to respond to the
needs and preferences of a broader customer base will
be critical to their financial and operational survival, but
they first must understand what their implicit biases are
to do that.
The goal of the session is for leaders to understand and
recognize internal biases both conscious and
unconscious. This program will focus on the healthcare
leader’s personal recognition of internal bias and its
impact on decisions in the organization. The impact of
the healthcare leaders’ ability to recognize biases in
areas such as employment and policy decision making
will lead to increased diversity in individuals holding
leadership positions and will help us better serve our
patients and communities.

Description
Get tips on how to avoid falls, a leading cause of injury and death among older
adults.
About the Event
An aging body means that while a fall in your 40s may result in a non-injury,
the outcome can be severe in your 70s or 80s. Preventing falls among older
adults is a life-saving strategy, in fact.
And falls often can be prevented. Join Ann Church and Maria Francis for a
workshop designed to help ease participants’ fear of falling and encourage
increased activity to improve strength, balance and stability. It will focus on:
The importance of an exercise routine
The importance of speaking up and being assertiv
A review of medications, hearing and vision issues
Positive interactions with healthcare providers and family
Modifications to make a home safer

About the Event
According to a national survey, 90% of people say that talking with their loved
ones about end-of-life care is important, but only 27% have done so. The
result is that too many people are dying in ways they wouldn’t choose, often
leaving loved ones feeling guilty and uncertain.
Thinking and talking about end-of-life choices can be tough, but discussing
how you choose to live at the end of life with loved ones and health care
professionals has proven to reduce stress for everyone. Far better to have
these conversations at the kitchen table than in the intensive care unit during
a medical crisis. This series, “Advance Care Planning Made Easy: How to
Decide, Discuss and Document Your End-of-Life Wishes,” can help.
This session will address the first step: how to decide what care you want at
the end of your life and who you want to speak for you if you are unable to
speak for yourself.

Stress Management 1 Day Training in Phoenix, AZ

9am - 5pm MDT
About this event
18 km away
Certificate: Course Completion Certificate
Language: English
Duration: 1 Day
Credits: 8
Course Delivery: Classroom/ Virtual Live / Onsite
Course Overview:
Stress Management Training has been developed to help you identify the
causes and effects of stress and to assist you in developing the skills required
to manage stress in your own life.
Course Contents:
The word ‘stress’ is used to describe the physical and/or emotional response
to the demands and pressures that modern living means we come under from
time to time.
Stress can be a positive thing, which drives us on and helps us to grow,
develop, and be stimulated. However, when stress reaches a certain level, it
can overcome a person’s ability to cope and can impact their physical and
mental health.
The focus is on the positive things that they can do to make changes in their
life which will reduce the impact that ”bad” stress places on them.

ASIST for CITY OF PHOENIX EMPLOYEES ONLY
July 8, 2024
8:30AM - July 9,2024 4:30PM MST
About this event
1 day 8 hours
This specific workshop is funded through a grant from the City of Phoenix, and our goal is to outreach residents and professionals within Greater Phoenix areas. This session is for City of Phoenix employees.
The Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) evidence-based workshop is for caregivers who want to feel more comfortable, confident, and competent in helping to prevent the immediate risk of suicide. Over two million caregivers have received this training worldwide and it is the gold standard for suicide intervention. Just as ""CPR"" skills make physical first aid possible, training in suicide intervention develops the skills needed for life assisting suicide first aid. ASIST is a two-day intensive, interactive, and practice-dominated course designed to help caregivers learn how to intervene to prevent the immediate risk of suicide and provide safety-for-now.
The workshop is designed for all caregivers (any person over 16 in a position of trust). This includes professionals, para-professionals, and lay people. It is suitable for mental health professionals, nurses, physicians, pharmacists, teachers, counselors, youth workers, police and correctional staff, school support staff, clergy, and community volunteers. In ASIST, sophisticated helping concepts are translated into generic language so that different types of caregivers can learn together. ASIST is the most widely used suicide intervention training program in the world. Additional information including CEU resources is available online at http://www.livingworks.net.
Please note: Participation in the full two days is required; any partial absences will result in participant having to retake course from the beginning.
Cost: Mercy Care believes in supporting communities to be safer from suicide, and is therefore supplementing all costs of the training. The average value of this two-day course is $285 per person and you may see it offered elsewhere for a fee. This specific workshop is funded through a grant from the City of Phoenix, and our goal is to outreach residents and professionals within Greater Phoenix areas.
Certification:
Once after the training, you receive a course completion certificate from Mangates.

Bending, Not Breaking: Healthcare Leadership in a Time of Crisis
June 27 th,2024
4.30PM -6.00 PM MST
About this event
1 hour 30 minutes
Program Description:
Preparing for an unplanned or unexpected event, such as a natural disaster, pandemic, civil disturbances, medical error, or labor disputes (e.g., union labor) causes physical, psychological and emotional stresses that can overwhelm employees, medical staff, patients and communities. In the event of a crisis, the quality and efficiency of care delivery may be challenged and typically takes a toll on every part of the organization. Lack of the unknown or uncertainty is also a challenge that healthcare leaders face in the time of crisis. Healthcare leaders need to understand ways to prepare their organization for unforeseen circumstances, which includes developing a communication plan, managing organizationalresources, such as medical supplies, levels of patient care and leveraging local and state resources and funding.
This panel discussion will provide insight and perspectives on ways to manage an unforeseen crisis within the healthcare organization and its community. It will include how healthcare leaders can better prepare and respond to a community or healthcare crisis, health surge event, or unanticipated response.

Alzheimer’s Disease & Related Disorders (ADRD) Training for Volunteers (Webinar)
May 16th, 2024
Live or On-Demand
Contact:
support@eewebinarnetwork.com
Phone: (406) 442-2585The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) reports that there are now as many hospice admissions for people with Alzheimer’s disease (and related disorders) as there are for people with cancer. This dynamic requires specialized skills and approaches for all members of the interdisciplinary team, including - and maybe especially - volunteers. In addition to the standardized initial training volunteers receive, it is now vital that volunteers are prepared for situations that include people with memory impairment, the inability to communicate verbally, the incapacity to focus and/or pay attention, or with diminished reasoning and judgment. This webinar will explore ways volunteers can become more comfortable and effective in these situations.
Highlights
Distinguish between four Alzheimer’s-related disorders
Understand the volunteer’s role when working with people with dementia, Alzheimer's, and strokes
Explain the unique challenges for families when caring for someone with ADRD
Itemize 10 ways to communicate with a person who has a form of dementia
List five ways volunteers can be useful when a patient is no longer able to communicate verbally
Take Away Tool Kit
Organizational assessment exercise
Self-assessment exercise
10 tips for communicating with a person with dementia
Guide to assist caregivers
Handout with lecture notes and additional learning opportunities
List of references and additional resources
Training log
PDF of slides and speaker’s contact info for follow-up questions
Attendance certificate provided, however there are no pre-approved CEs associated with this webinar
Who Should Attend
This informative webinar is designed for volunteers and volunteer managers. It will also be beneficial for nursing assistants and all members of the team wanting to learn more about how to better support and assist people with ADRD and their caregivers.

Learn exercises that can help you increase bone density and protect against osteopenia and osteoporosis.
About the Event
This bone-strengthening class led by American Council on Exercise (ACE)-certified instructor Mitch Menik each Monday will guide you through dynamic standing, stretching and chair exercises, performed with or without weights, designed to mildly stress the body.
Such mild stress can spur an increase in bone density and help strengthen the muscles that support the skeletal structure. These movements also help increase flexibility and improve balance to lower the risk of falls. Gentle motions focused on breath work help oxygenate the blood. Please consult your physician before beginning any new exercise regimen.

Zumba Gold is a variation on the popular dance exercise program, designed for older adults and good for both body and brain.

The popular Zumba workout, which puts a mix of high- and lower-intensity dance moves to Latin and World beats, has been modified in Zumba Gold to provide a less intensive, more joint-friendly dance workout for older adults - without sacrificing any of the fun.
This class, part of a series taught by Charlotte, N.C., fitness instructor Elizabeth Moakler, will get you moving to the Zumba rhythms and explore the connection between dance and a healthy brain.

ABOUT THE LIVE EVENT
Ticket purchase (includes book) via Eventbrite is required.
All tickets are general admission.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Dr. Gladys McGarey, a centenarian still-consulting doctor and the mother of holistic medicine, reveals “a story that teaches as much as it inspires” (Edith Eger, New York Times bestselling author), filled with life-changing secrets for how to live with joy, vitality, and purpose at any age.
Dr. Gladys McGarey, cofounder of the American Holistic Medical Association, began her medical practice at a time when women couldn’t even have their own bank accounts. Over the past sixty years, she has pioneered a new way of thinking about disease and health that has transformed the way we imagine health care and self-care around the world.
On these pages, Dr. McGarey shares her six actionable secrets to enjoying lives that are long, happy, and purpose-driven:
-Spend your energy wildly: How to embrace your life fully and feel motivated every day.
-All life needs to move: How to move—spiritually, mentally, and physically—to help let go of trauma and other roadblocks.
-You are here for a reason: How to find the everyday “juice” that helps you stay oriented in your life’s purpose.
-You are never alone: How to build a community that’s meaningful to you.
-Everything is your teacher: Discover the deep learnings that come from pain and setbacks.
-Love is the most powerful medicine: Learn to love yourself—and others—into healing.
In a voice that is both practical and inspiring, Dr. McGarey shares her own extraordinary stories and eternal wisdom—from her early childhood in India and a chance encounter with Mahatma Gandhi to her life as a physician and a mother of six, to her survival of both heartbreak and illness. Dr. Gladys shares her inspiring vision for a healthier and more joyful future for us all, filled with “rich and complex truths that will resonate with readers’ hearts and minds” (Dr. Robert Waldinger, New York Times bestselling author)."

Ventana Winds Retirement Home is located at 12322 N 113th Ave, Youngtown, AZ 85363
Children are welcome and encouraged to participate!
Whether young or old, games connect us with those around us in an entertaining and meaningful way.
Playing games is not just for children. It’s a fun, engaging, and stress relieving activity that should be practiced by all of us, even in old age. Seniors can experience a number of benefits depending on the type of game being played. The advantages can range anywhere from a sharper memory to better fine motor skills.
Playing games also encourages interaction with others, exercise the brain, reduces the risk of cognitive decline, and creates more happiness.
The consistency of seeing other people prevents isolation and loneliness, which are both so common among the elderly population.
To volunteer, simply comment below!

Vital Information for New Caregivers
November 7th, 2023
1:00 PM–2:00 PM MST
Many who serve as a caregiver are thrust suddenly into the role and take it on with great love and intention but little preparation or planning. Frankly, there is little that can fully prepare one to suddenly manage nearly all aspects of another adult’s daily life. However, having certain vital guidance can help reduce anxiety, improve family dynamics and increase a caregiver’s effectiveness.

Caring for a Veteran
November 8th, 2023
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
When you become a caregiver for a U.S. veteran, chances are you will start younger and care longer. You’ll manage situations other family caregivers don’t necessarily deal with. Some 5.5 million caregivers are caring for wounded warriors today, making it easier for them to live independently in their homes and communities for as long as possible. No matter where you are on your family’s caregiving journey, having a good road map will make the process a little bit easier. Troy J. Broussard, Senior Advisor for AARP's Veterans & Military Families Initiative and a proud Desert Storm Army veteran, will provide information and resources specifically aimed at supporting veteran and military caregivers. These include AARP’s free Military Caregiving Guide for Veterans, Service Members, and their Families and the Veterans and Military Families Health Benefits Navigator, which contain important information to help caregivers make decisions and find available service-related health benefits.
