Alzheimer Society offering grief support for families experiencing dementia

The Alzheimer Society of Alberta and Northwest Territories are announcing they are expanding their care services by launching a new support program for those experiencing ongoing grief while their family members live with dementia.

The initiative, Living Well with Grief and Loss is offering support groups, counselling and therapy. The intent is to emphasize the quality of life and enhance connection between patients and their loved ones with dementia.

The program is provincially grant-funded and is available across Alberta with resources accessible online and through personalized intake.
