The Keynote Address
The conference keynote address will be given by Karen Stobbe, author of “Sometimes Ya Gotta Laugh” and nationally recognized speaker and innovative trainer in dementia care. She was working as an actress, director, writer and instructor of theatre when her Dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Karen now trains others during workshops and conferences on aging issuesand Alzheimer’s disease. Her keynote address is entitled In The Moment: Communicating With Purpose, Perspective and Presence. This session will explore and discuss the ways we communicate, how others communicate with us and how we can become more “in the moment” with everyone in our lives. Join us in this very interactive session with Karen Stobbe who will use her experiences as a family caregiver to both of her parents and her background.
CEUs for Professionals
Social Workers and Health Facility Administrators may earn 4 CEUs. Certificates of attendance will be given to all other attendees. This will also count toward the six hours of dementia specific training required by the state. Certificates will be give at the conclusion of the conference. In order to receive CEUs, 100% of the conference must be attended.
Community Forum
During the Conference’s Alzheimer’s Community Forum, participants will be informed about pertinent legislation from the 2009 Indiana General Assembly and learn about the concept of an Alzheimer’s Disease State Plan for Indiana. Participants will be given the opportunity to discuss issues of concern and understand how they can impact the State Plan process.
