Supportive counselling provides a safe and confidential space for individuals and/or families to ask questions about dementia and/or caring for someone with a dementia, to discuss coping strategies, and to obtain information. Our Dementia Support Counsellors can help families to best live with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.
