Support Changes Everything is the theme for a Campaign that the Alzheimer’s Society of Manitoba will run through January.

 

Samantha Holland tells us that the campaign gives people a chance to learn about Alzheimer’s and dementia in a very real way.

 

Here, Holland tells us about the stories that will be shared about various individuals’ experiences with the disease.

 

"We're featuring five stories from people who are impacted by the disease.  So we have spouses, we have people who have dementia themselves and an adult child featured.  So just to really educate people who have never been faced with it and let those that have know that they're not alone."

 

The Society aims to help those with the disease and caregivers by providing resources to help navigate and by sharing stories of individuals who navigate this disease daily.

 

The Society will be hosting education sessions over the month to help provide resources to those new to dealing with dementia and Alzheimer’s.

 

Then, the Society will host an in-person gala in Winnipeg in February.
