All the latest news and stories about Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and the brain.

40 years! It’s hard to believe it, but that is how old ASNS will turn on January 31, 2023. 40 years of supporting Nova Scotians on the dementia journey. 40 years of impact.

Introducing our new Director of Programs & Services, Sacha Nadeau.

Alexa’s bright light will never fade, and we hold her incredible warmth, courage, and commitment to making the world a better place deeply in our hearts.

“Someone else understands. Because you can talk to a lot of people, and everyone has an opinion, but unless they go through it, they don’t understand.”

“The things that I hear the most from patients I’ve referred is that they feel supported, they know someone is there if they do have questions.”

“It’s very therapeutic to be able to offer an answer or suggestion to someone that’s dealing with something you’ve gone through yourself.”

“Shaping the Journey gave me and Doug information about how this is going to look in the long run."

Thank you to the presenters at this year's annual provincial conference, who lent us not only their time, but their expertise and knowledge.
