After Sheila Anderson’s husband was diagnosed with dementia, she reached out to the Alzheimer Society for support. They received helpful resources and information, which gave them the opportunity to join a support group.
“The Society is a place you know you can turn to for support,” says Sheila. “Being able to talk to people in the same position as you is so helpful because we all understand what dementia is really like.”
Sheila and Bruce are now regular monthly donors. Donating to the Society helps to continue services like one-to-one counselling, support groups, education sessions, dementia-friendly programming and more. To learn more about the Alzheimer Society and how to donate, visit our website.

Don’t Fear Fats!
Eating healthy fats is essential for overall well-being. Healthy fats provide a range of benefits for the body, including supporting brain function, promoting heart health, and aiding nutrient absorption. They are a rich source of energy, help maintain healthy skin and hair, and assist in hormone production. Incorporating foods like avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oil, and fatty fish into your diet can increase your intake of these beneficial fats. However, it’s important to consume them in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Remember, not all fats are created equal, and opting for healthy fats can contribute to a healthier, more nourished body.
