Join Brookdale Admiral Heights for a real-life examination of the difference between caregiving and care partnering. In this session we will not only hear from Brookdale’s dementia-care expert, Juliet Holt Klinger, on the latest research on the caregiving role, but we will hear directly from the person living with dementia and his care partner. We will explore the dynamics of a care partnership and how this relationship can be structured and nurtured to work for both. Brian and his care partner will lead us through their daily journey and some of the “musts” to making this partnership a success.
This is a CEU credited class for health-care professionals who need the certified continuing education credit. Anyone who wishes to attend and learn more is also welcome to attend!

The West Seattle Tool Library is open at Youngstown Cultural Arts Center space (east side of main building).
West Seattle Tool Library provides free, community access to a wide variety of tools, training, and sustainable resources. Utilizing a diverse collection of over 1,500 tools, our membership has successfully grown entire community orchards, built mini-greenhouses, and even just mowed their own lawns. From basic tasks to brilliant innovations, the projects accomplished by the West Seattle Tool Library’s 780+ members have made all the tools in the collection proud to be working again.
Founder and Director of the Disability Visibility Project Alice Wong will speak with Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha and Elsa Sjunneson about their contributions to the collection.
Registration required. Please click here to register.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
One in five people in the United States lives with a disability. Some disabilities are visible, others less apparent—but all are underrepresented in media and popular culture. Now, just in time for the thirtieth anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, activist Alice Wong brings together this urgent, galvanizing collection of contemporary essays by disabled people.
From Harriet McBryde Johnson’s account of her debate with Peter Singer over her own personhood to original pieces by authors like Keah Brown and Haben Girma; from blog posts, manifestos, and eulogies to Congressional testimonies, and beyond: this anthology gives a glimpse into the rich complexity of the disabled experience, highlighting the passions, talents, and everyday lives of this community. It invites readers to question their own understandings. It celebrates and documents disability culture in the now. It looks to the future and the past with hope and love.
ABOUT THE SPEAKERS:

She is the founder and director of the Disability Visibility Project, an online community dedicated to creating, sharing, and amplifying disability media and culture.
