First Link Learning Series – On Demand
Welcome to the Alzheimer Society’s First Link Learning Series.
This modular program was developed by the Alzheimer Society of Ontario and is intended for those actively caring for a person living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia. There are 2 of the 4 modules currently available in the on-demand format. First Steps addresses issues around the early stages of dementia and is a precursor to the Care Essentials course, which addresses issues as things progress to middle stages and beyond.
When accessing these on-demand recordings of the First Link Learning Series please be aware that they do not stand alone – they are part of a progressive educational experience intended to meet your current needs for information and to support you as needs change over time.
For more information about the on-demand learning series, to register for in person sessions, or to learn about the many other education, support, and recreational services available, please contact your local Alzheimer Society.
