We are using every available assistance we can.Doug Fords cutbacks have had a very deep impact on mental health care.Sorry to hear about this. Have you had some specialist advice? Neurologist/dementia experts? Does VON do anything related to this kind of help?

We have a "virtual" meeting tomorrow with a shrink.We have done these twice before without any real success.Gotta keep trying tho.Things are basically **** right now. How about telehealth and there are some charities that seem to be running mental health support online too. Not ideal as it’s always good to have a face to face but it’s something.
We had an appt with a Neuro specialist in Dec,but she cancelled it (anxiety).It is now scheduled for May.Her problem is "parkinsonism".Not a lot of information for it.The Alzheimer’s society seem to support more than just Alzheimer’s. Help and support. Don’t know if that will help.
Some more links here too Baycrest Centre - Support Programs

IMO cut backs and increases in demand have overloaded so many of these "Help" organizations that they needed to re-organize. To do so on a reduced budget they let go workers to be able to hire more organizers.Things are basically **** right now.

Paper shuffling, studies and meetings have replaced feet on the ground.
With issues that have a mental component face-to-face doesn't work well. Typing doesn't express subtle meanings and unless the person typing is a playwright, hidden directions like "Martha (Sobbing ) said...." don't enter the communications.
