MH25-04. Lori Chenger, D is for Dementia


Mental Health Awareness with Sara Troy and her guest Lori Chenger, on air from January 28th

I am sharing information on my children’s book D is for Dementia, which helps explain the concept of dementia to children. After losing my dad to dementia, I realized that we often leave children out of these conversations, thinking it’s too complex for them to understand.

Storytelling helps us navigate fear and uncertainty. Communication within families is essential as we face loss. Inspired by my experiences, I aimed to provide a resource that fosters dialogue between families and children when dementia affects their lives.

Children need clear facts and relatable images. Books and music offer comfort, and my book includes lyrics to “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” demonstrating that, ultimately, love transcends words, regardless of age.

No matter what we can no longer verbally express, the power of love still resides in all of us.

From my house to yours, may love be your anchor.

Dementia is a term used to describe a group of symptoms that affect memory, thinking, reasoning, and the ability to perform everyday tasks. It is not a specific disease but a condition caused by underlying disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease (the most common cause), vascular dementia, or other brain-related issues.

How easy is it to forget the things we promised to remember forever.

Sam Hawksmoor

Key symptoms of dementia include:

  • Memory loss, particularly of recent events.
  • Difficulty with problem-solving or planning.
  • Confusion about time, place, or people.
  • Communication challenges, such as finding the right words.
  • Changes in mood, behavior, or personality.

Dementia primarily affects older adults, though it is not a normal part of aging. Early diagnosis and care can help manage symptoms and improve the quality of life for those affected and their families.

2023 Award winner of Rise to Greater Heights and Iconic Impactors for women who teach, lead, and inspire. I have worked as a recreational director for 8 years in senior care centers and currently teach an online addictions program. I have over 20 years of experience working with children, youth, and seniors in various capacities. In my work in the recreation field with seniors, I found that we have a habit of asking questions regarding diagnoses that they cannot recall. Example: “Don’t you remember?” “Why did you do that?” One of my modalities led me to the training and teaching of Dr. Daniel Nightingale, a leading psychotherapist, clinical hypnotherapist, and medical director.

MH23-45. Lori Chenger, Mind Hostage Negotiator


Mental Health Awareness with Sara Troy and her guest Lori Chenger, on air from November 7th

Mindset Inside-Out. How to thrive internally in an external world.

Receiving a 2022 award nomination for the Global Institute for Evolutionary Women in the field of education, a category for recognizing women who teach, inspire, and educate others, is both an honour for Lori and symbolic of how life educated her to be where she needs to be.


Until Lori learned how to become a hostage negotiator of the mind, she kept creating life from the poverty of thinking that one can easily adopt from an unhealthy family narrative.
By age eleven, Lori experienced sexual abuse twice, grew up without running water, indoor plumbing, and electricity. Watching others make decisions based in addictions was a great teacher on how to live small and alone. This life was also a precursor to a marriage grounded in addictions and abuse. When you change the way you look at the things, the things you look at change. Once you learn how to get out of your own way and build a wealthy mindset, life will change and forgiveness is possible.
