SUMMARY:National Volunteer Recognition Week
DESCRIPTION:Volunteers give their time in support of various causes and ask for nothing in return\, in fact volunteers work tirelessly to help their community\, city\, and country. \nMany older adults are in a position where they can give their time\, skills\, and energy to volunteering.  Organizations must rethink and remove barriers that may result in enthusiastic volunteers with disabilities choosing not to volunteer. \nOrganizations can recognize volunteers by acknowledging their contributions with thank you events\, dinners\, teas\, or BBQs. \nOrganizations should consider developing and implementing family volunteering opportunities as there is an increase in multi-generations living together and providing support for each other. \nFor more information\, please contact your local CRN.

SUMMARY:Advance Care Planning (ACP) Day
DESCRIPTION:Advance care planning (ACP) helps people prepare for the unexpected.  Many of us will at some point in our lives be incapable of making health care\, personal care\, financial\, or legal decisions.  Being prepared allows your beliefs\, values\, and wishes to be represented and respected when you are incapable.  Being prepared also reduces the stress on your family and friends who may be called on to make decisions on your behalf. \nAdvance Care Planning Day (ACP) is April 16\, 2023.  The BC Centre for Palliative Care encourages everyone to create ACP awareness in their communities by: \n\nHarnessing the power of social media\nEngaging local media\nSharing personal stories\nHosting public sessions/events\nPromoting ACP online\nStarting your own advance care planning\n\nVisit the BC CRN’s ACP page for more information and resources. \n

SUMMARY:Provincial Learning Event: Social Prescribing & Older Adults
DESCRIPTION:Register now. \nSocial prescribing or social prescription is a relatively new approach that brings together social and medical models of health care. In this presentation\, we provide an overview of social prescribing based on the results of our two recent systematic reviews for this topic. \nSpeakers: \nSanya Grover: Sanya is a second year medical student at the University of British Columbia. Prior to medicine\, she completed her Bachelor of Health Sciences at McMaster University. Her research interests are focused on understanding the definition and implementation of person-centered care\, as well as exploring other healthcare concepts such as reablement and more recently\, social prescribing. \nMaureen Ashe: Maureen is a professor in the Department of Family Practice at UBC\, Canada Research Chair in Community Mobility\, and a physiotherapist. Maureen’s research interests include interventions to encourage older adults’ engagement in physical activity\, behavior change\, digital health\, and models of care such as reablement and social prescribing. \nRegister now.
