Virtual ABC's of Dementia presentation

Wednesday, June 21, 2023
Noon to 1 pm CST 

Online via Zoom

Click here to register.

Dementia can cause changes in abilities, behaviour and communication that affect an individual’s daily life. These changes – the ABC’s of Dementia – include, but are not limited to, memory loss that affects day to day abilities, disorientation in time and space, and problems with abstract thinking.

Becoming aware of dementia and the changes in abilities, behaviour, and communication it can cause improves our ability to access support and early diagnosis should we notice these signs in ourselves or others we care for.

Evening of Education

Stay tuned for a Fall 2023 presentation date.

Coffee and Chat 

For people with dementia and their care partners. This is NOT a Support Group, but an opportunity for you to check in with each other. Make yourself comfortable, grab a cup of coffee or tea and join some of the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan staff and peers online to say ‘hello’ and let us know how you are doing.  

We will be online via Zoom every Friday (except holidays) - 10:30-11:30 am. Click the following email to register to attend: [email protected]  

Please note: Due to privacy and confidentiality, we will not be able to address personal client matters during the chat, but will be happy to connect you with a First Link Coordinator or Client Services Team Manager who will be able to support you.

The Alzheimer Society offers support groups for people with dementia and caregivers that can improve quality of life and the ability to cope with the challenges of the disease.
