This Monday evening at the Orpheum Theatre, downtown Fairfield at 7:30pm Thresholding is sponsoring the viewing of Griefwalker, a recently produced documentary. $7 at the door.

Griefwalker
This documentary introduces us to Stephen Jenkinson, the leader of a palliative care counselling team at Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital. Through his daytime job, he has been at the deathbed of well over 1,000 people. What he sees over and over, he says, is "a wretched anxiety and an existential terror" even when there is no pain. Indicting the practice of palliative care itself, he has made it his life's mission to change the way we die - to turn the act of dying from denial and resistance into an essential part of life.

Want a fresh approach to care that supports well-being for all involved?
Join us for an Eden at Home Care Partner Workshop!

An initiative of The Eden Alternative®, Eden at Home promotes
improving quality of life and well-being for all involved in the care
relationship. It does not see the needs of caregivers and care receivers
as separate, but rather as part of a rich, mutually supportive care
partnership. By our definition, care partners include family, friends,neighbors, volunteers, home care professionals, and the Elder herself.
Working together, empowered care partner teams help ensure the
independence, dignity, and continued growth and development of
elder care partners by eliminating loneliness, helplessness, and
boredom for everyone on the team.

Eden at Home Care Partner Workshops empower participants to:
• Work together with others to reduce stress & burnout;
• Develop meaningful connections through thoughtful and
effective communication;
• Create opportunities for all to give, as well as receive; and
• See aging, care, and living with different abilities through new eyes.

Prior workshop participants share that they have:
• Experienced positive changes in their relationships with
Elder care partners;
• Learned to work more collaboratively with other family members
and care professionals;
• Noticed a more positive outlook and perspective about care; and
• Expanded their support networks.

April 5th & 12th, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
808 N 4th St., Fairfield, IA
Fee $40 for 2 days.
