    Psi Beta National Honor Society in Psychology - West Campus

    I took an online course regarding ALS and tips for people caring for those afflicted by ALS. I have a family member who was diagnosed with ALS, and although I do not live with them, I still find it important to learn about caregiving. The facts I learned in this program are applicable to not only those who suffer from ALS, but those with memory or mobility issues in general.

    Ongoing opportunities with The Aging Awareness Initiative

    I took the Alzheimer’s Association Education Center training modules, which comprised of watching through their videos and slideshows and answering along to interactive questions. I learned quite a bit, ranging from statistics of dementia and Alzheimer’s, its history, advancements in the field, and best practices when caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s. Some modules took 30 minutes, some 45, and a few over 2 hours because they had multiple videos in one module. This, plus the time to take the survey after each module, amasses to 10 hours and 30 minutes.

    Ongoing opportunities with The Aging Awareness Initiative

    I became an Alz Star by completing the online course. I watched a very informative video that explains what we know about Alzheimer’s, and also emphasize the best practices when around loved ones that have Alzheimer’s. I highly recommend getting the certification, as you can learn so much in just 1 hour. This includes registering, watching the 45 minute video, then taking the quiz.

    Ongoing opportunities with The Aging Awareness Initiative

    I virtually attended a CHSCHA panel discussion, regarding if there should be an age limit for politicians. It was a very insightful presentation, hosted by various field professionals. I got to hear different takes on the topic and heard some good questions being answered, and valid points being raised. Such as, older politicians may have more experience than younger ones, while younger politicians may have a fresh perspective on things and creative new ideas, that previous generations may not have thought of.

    Deeannie @ PSY2940C Meeting Hours

    Over the course of this practicum so far, we have held three separate meetings, each lasting one hour. In this meeting, we are informed of many opportunities relating to aging, mental health, and neuroscience advocacy and volunteering opportunities. Some can be done virtually and others in person. We also have the opportunity to listen to what types of volunteering activities other students are engaging in and draw inspiration from that.
