## Resource

January is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, and we’re opening a 4-part series on Alzheimer’s and dementia with Cathy Barrick, CEO of the Alzheimer Society of Ontario. In this first episode, Cathy helps cut through fear and misconceptions to focus on what really matters early on, including why getting a clear diagnosis is so important, what “respite” actually looks like in real life, and how caregivers can communicate through repetition, confusion, and behaviour changes. Listeners will come away with a better understanding of early warning signs, practical ways to support brain health, and where to turn for trusted support at any stage of the journey. If this diagnosis is touching your life, this conversation offers clarity, reassurance, and a reminder that you don’t have to navigate it alone.
