If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with dementia, the most helpful thing that you can do is to become knowledgeable about the disease and the care a person with the disease may need. This might include encouraging family and friends to attend an Alzheimer Society family education session or planning to attend one of the "Living With Alzheimer's Disease" workshop sessions. Click for more information about Family Education. The Alzheimer Society partners with community care providers offering in-service education to professional staff groups at their work sites. The Alzheimer Society of Manitoba's annual conference offers care providers valuable information about emerging topics in dementia care. Conference attendees report that, "It is always difficult to choose sessions because you want to see them all." Click for more information about Professional Education.
The Society provides general information presentations to the public to create a greater awareness about Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. The goal is to create an informed and supportive environment, thereby enhancing the quality of life for people effected by Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia.
