Over 20 thousand Manitobans have Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia.

The Alzheimer's Society of Manitoba is reaching out to their family members and care givers, thanks to Telehealth Family Education seminars. Since starting the seminars 2 and a half years ago, the number of locations participating in them has grown from 16 to 33. They include northern communities like the Pas, Flin Flon, Thompson and Gillam.

The next Telehealth Session takes place Feburary 3rd and is called "Medications and People with Dementia: Benefits versus Risks". For this and other upcoming sessions go to alzheimer.mb.ca to register.
