Have you been recently diagnosed with early-stage dementia (within the past 2 years) and want to talk to others about your experiences and learn more? Do you have a care partner who could attend a six session educational program with you?

Shaping the Journey™ is a program designed for people with a recent diagnosis of early-stage dementia, and a care partner, family member, or friend. The program provides participants with evidence-based education from knowledgeable, professional staff in a supportive environment.

We have sessions starting in the winter in the following locations: Annapolis Valley, Halifax, and Virtual cross-province. Please call to learn if this program may be right for you.

Each January, Alzheimer’s Awareness Month calls on us to Forget No One, because no one should face dementia alone. Dementia is still surrounded by stigma, and too many people delay seeking help when early support can make all the difference.

Kim’s journey with Mild Cognitive Impairment is a powerful reminder that a diagnosis doesn’t end a life — it can reshape it with purpose, connection, and hope. By reaching out early and finding support through the Alzheimer Society, Kim turned fear into advocacy and continues to live fully while helping others feel less alone.

Stigma keeps people silent, and silence is harmful. It can delay diagnosis, limit support, and make living with dementia even harder.

Talking about dementia matters. When we speak openly, share stories, and learn together, stigma fades, help comes sooner, and no one has to feel alone 💙
