Dementia Live® Experience

Step into someone else’s shoes with Dementia Live®, an eye-opening experience that helps you truly understand what it’s like to live with dementia. In small groups, you’ll put on specialized sensory gear and take on everyday tasks in a way that brings the challenges of dementia to life. Through this hands-on experience and thoughtful group discussion, you’ll walk away with a deeper sense of empathy and practical skills to provide better care and support.

Sessions run throughout the day from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., with each experience lasting 45 minutes. Open to all CBU students, faculty, staff and community members. Reserve your 45-minute spot by contacting Nicole Cammaert at (902) 563-1281 or cbu10dxd@cbu.ca. Questions? Contact Sheila Schuehlein, Dementia Live Coach at (902) 322-6210.

This project is supported by an Age-Friendly Community Program grant through the Nova Scotia Department of Seniors and Long-term Care.
