Soins des Proches Aidants: Stratégies corps–esprit visant à réduire l’épuisement et à améliorer le bien-être et la santé mentale des proches aidants

Être proche aidant d’une personne vivant avec un trouble neurocognitif peut être à la fois gratifiant et exigeant, ce qui entraîne souvent du stress et de l’épuisement.

Cette session est axée sur les proches aidants et examine l’impact de la prestation de soins sur le bien-être physique, émotionnel et mental. Les participants découvriront des stratégies pratiques et fondées sur des données probantes, axées sur le lien corps–esprit, pour les aider à gérer leur stress, à renforcer leur résilience et à favoriser leur bien-être général.

Cet atelier souligne l’importance de prendre soin de soi comme élément essentiel d’une prise en charge durable.

Conférencière
Dre Harmehr Sekhon – Professeure adjointe à Université McGill et chercheuse associée au Centre de recherche St. Mary’s, spécialisée en gériatrie, en santé cognitive et en santé numérique.

L'atelier sera animé en anglais. Une séance de questions-réponses bilingue aura également lieu après la présentation.
