The Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan invites family and friends of people with dementia, or people affected by dementia, to attend their upcoming session, "Adjusting Your Attitude Towards Grief and Loss," on Tuesday, April 2 from 7 to 9 p.m.
Nuelle Novik, assistant professor, Faculty of Social Work at the University of Regina will discuss the unique challenges related to grief and loss faced by caregivers and families of people with dementia.
