The Healing Library free download on dementia (and other topics)

[Wendy Pender]

This resource for children’s books with discussion guides is new to me - https://www.thehealinglibraryus.com/free-downloads.  I did have some issues in the Alzheimer’s one I browsed briefly, e.g., the use of the word “patient” with regard to people who have Alzheimer’s disease, also some typos.  However, I don’t want to nitpick too much as I think it’s mostly excellent! There are suggested books and specific questions on how to use them, a list of common reactions children may have along with common symptoms the loved one may experience.  This is part of the Social Emotional Librarianship that LJ is sponsoring.

 

FYI, better together!

Someone had asked the question as to whether people with dementia can read. Don't remember if it was on this thread or one of the Facebook groups I follow, but thought I'd share this link to an upcoming webinar on dementia

https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/remember-your-patrons-living-with-memory-loss.html?utm_source=SFMC&utm_medium=email&utm_content=November+16+2022+Crossroads&utm_campaign=utm_campaign%20=%20webjuction-courses&utm_term=WebJunction%20Crossroads

Remember Your Patrons Living with Memory Loss Research shows that many people living with dementia can still read and benefit from using a wide variety of library materials. Join this webinar to hear practical advice on choosing reading materials uniquely suited to each individual, following the tenets of person-centered care. www.webjunction.org

Thank you for sending this out. I love to see people trying to reach children and adults dealing with dementia.  I have put a link to our library's dementia resources in hopes that it will help some of you get started on something.        https://www.delawarelibrary.org/services/memory-care/

Again, thank you for sharing!!
