Shaping the Journey: Living with Dementia is a unique program developed by the Alzheimer Society of B.C. The program is designed for people who want to explore the journey ahead in a positive and supportive environment. Participants meet on a weekly basis to learn about dementia and share their journey with others who are going through similar experiences.
This six-session series is designed for people experiencing the early symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia, as well as a care-partner, family member, or friend. It is this joint learning environment that makes the program unique.
Shaping the Journey was originally designed and piloted for people with early symptoms of dementia. After receiving feedback from participants, care partners and staff, the program was revised to allow people with dementia and a care partner to attend together.

Support and Education staff throughout the province participated in discussions to ensure they are prepared to meet the needs of both people with the disease and their care-partners in one shared learning environment.
Now, we are pleased to deliver Shaping the Journey as one of our core services, available through our 18 resource centres around the province.
