A person who receives a life-changing diagnosis has a lot of questions. Why did this happen? How will this affect my daily life? What changes can I make now to improve my long-term outcome?
Welcome to the Dementia Education Program
The McGill Dementia Education Program responds to the need to support care partners (spouse, parent, child, sibling or friend) looking after a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia-related illnesses. Our multidisciplinary team creates educational tools and innovative platforms to offer the training and resources care partners need.
Dementia Education for Care Partners is a free online course that consists of ten self-guided modules. It includes expert advice, shared experiences from participants, and solutions to the challenges of being a care partner in the context of dementia.
Claire Webster is the founder and ambassador of the McGill Dementia Education Program and McGill Cares, a webcast series designed to support family care partners. In these candid, 30-minute interviews with leading experts, Claire explores topics related to caring for a loved one with dementia.
A person who receives a life-changing diagnosis of dementia has many questions. What changes can I expect to my daily routine? How long can I remain independent? An educational resource, Dementia, Your Companion Guide (available in multiple languages), was designed to help provide answers.
