Alzheimer Memory Walk 2010 |
||||||
 |
On June 17th, 2010, members of MAPCHSW participated in the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba Memory Walk in honor of our residents with dementia and their families. I know that I personally saw a few family members of current residents as well as families of past residents on the Walk which was incredible. A donation of $200 was made on behalf of our Association and a few members also collected individual pledges. It rained all day and all evening except for the one hour that it took for our group to complete the walk and a good time was had by all!! I am so proud of our Association and the work that our members continue to do to make lives better for Personal Care Home residents and their families.

| WELCOME! | ||||||
| To the Manitoba Association of Personal Care Home Social Workers | ||||||
| OUR HISTORY | ||||||
| In 1972, the Social Workers employed in Personal Care Homes in Manitoba began meeting on a regular basis to exchange ideas related to social work services in PCH’s. We became a formal organization in 1974 when a Constitution was adopted. The Association has since grown to include membership from long term care facilities in Winnipeg and in all parts of rural Manitoba. | ||||||
| OUR PURPOSE | ||||||
| The Association meets regularly to discuss a wide range of topics pertinent to Social Workers in long term care settings. Meetings provide the opportunity to network with other Social Workers and to keep up-to-date with changes and new developments in the field. | ||||||
| OUR STRUCTURE | ||||||
| The Association is run by an Executive Committee, with standing and ad-hoc committees in place as necessary. As an Association member, you are welcome to serve on the Executive or as a committee member. There is an annual membership fee which is due upon acceptance of your application. (See copy of the Constitution for details). | ||||||
| OUR MEETINGS | ||||||
| Meetings are currently held on the third Friday of each month, beginning at 9:00 a.m. Meetings are held in various facilities so that members can become familiar with other Personal Care Homes and long term care facilities. A tour of the hosting facility is offered at the end of each meeting. (See Meeting Location list). | ||||||
