We understand activities that offer stimulation, socialization, purpose and dignity are vital for all human beings, but particularly people with dementia since they are experiencing so many complex emotions and changes. Persons with Alzheimer’s disease always tell us that getting help and support early makes a big difference for them. Family members also report the benefits of being with and learning from other families. By utilizing the early stage programs here at the St. Louis chapter, persons with Alzheimer's and their families become more hopeful and more confident as they face the future. They also develop a network of people with the same concerns. Project ESTEEM Project Esteem is an education and support program for people with early stage memory loss, their family and friends. It's a chance to develop new friendships, gain coping skills, and enhance family communication. LET’S TALK allows people with early stage memory loss to communicate for personal support and to share their ideas and experiences. Through LET’S TALK, persons with early stage dementia are linked through a supervised telephone peer support program to share information and coping strategies, reduce social isolation, and provide emotional support. The program provides a supportive environment where people can talk freely about the effects of dementia on their lives.
