Dementia Policy and Resource Guide Development

The Alzheimer Society of Alberta and Northwest Territories seeks to enhance public policy awareness and support for individuals experiencing dementia, their care partners, and seniors. This project involves conducting comprehensive research on existing public policies affecting these groups, identifying gaps or challenges they face, and understanding the pinch points in current support systems. The goal is to utilize this research to develop a practical and informative resource for government staff who regularly handle constituent complaints and concerns. This resource will empower them with knowledge about dementia supports and resources available through the Alzheimer Society, ensuring they can effectively redirect and assist constituents in need. By bridging the information gap, this project aims to improve the quality of support and advocacy for those affected by dementia.

Manager Training and Resource Portal Development

The Alzheimer Society of Alberta and Northwest Territories seeks to enhance the professional development of its managerial staff by creating a centralized training and resource portal. This project aims to streamline access to essential training materials and resources, ensuring managers have the tools they need to excel in their roles. The portal will serve as a one-stop-shop for training documents, development resources, and other relevant materials. By consolidating these resources, the organization hopes to foster a culture of continuous learning and improvement among its management team. The project will involve gathering existing resources, creating new training documents, and organizing them into an easily navigable digital platform. This initiative will not only improve managerial efficiency but also contribute to the overall effectiveness of the organization.
