Living Well Together: Enhancing Quality of Life for People with Dementia and Care Partners​

​Marie-Lee Yous aims to enhance quality of life for people living with dementia and their family and friend care partners through innovative, person-centered approaches. This talk will highlight a range of interventions, including multisensory programming, Green Care approaches, and equine-assisted activities, as well as her newest intervention, Stories in Motion (SiM), a nature-guided program that integrates storytelling and the outdoors to support personhood, connection, and meaningful engagement. Drawing on national and international collaborations, her research emphasizes how non-pharmacological, relationship-centered care practices can strengthen well-being, foster dignity, and improve everyday experiences for people living with dementia and those who care alongside them.  To learn more or sign up, please contact mattea.lewis@ubc.ca
