The educational video series in the Mackenzie Meets Alzheimer’s Awareness Program is a gift to families who have loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease and children who are experiencing the changes in, for example, their grandparents. It can easily be broken down into small segments for children to watch a little at a time

The video for the responsible adult is powerful! It’s filled with education as well as detailed examples for how they can provide family Alzheimer’s support for both the loved one with Alzheimer’s disease AND their children.   

For children, it’s a valuable blend of the following: Alzheimer’s education offered at a level young people can understand; suggestions for activities families can do together with the loved one who has the disease; being open about the challenges of the disease; giving children permission to feel emotions including anger, fear, confusion and sadness, and helping them appropriately express those emotions.
