Your link to a community of learning, services and
support.
What
is First Link™?
First Link™ is a program that
connects individuals and families affected by dementia to opportunities
for learning, community services and support.
If you
or your family member have concerns about changes in memory, personality
or abilities, or have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or a related
dementia, then First Link™ is for you.
- First
Link™ gets you connected to support early and will support
you throughout the course of the disease;
- the more you know about
Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia, the better you may be able
to cope; and,
- you will be linked to
community supports and services.
Who
can make a referral to the program?
A referral can be made by anyone
(self referral, physician, allied health professional, community care
partner, etc.)
