Support groups for family members, caregivers and friends of people with Alzheimer's disease or related disorders meet regularly and are facilitated by a trained professional and or a family caregiver. These groups provide participants with an opportunity to discuss caregiving challenges and share helpful tips, while receiving support from others who are in similar situations.
We have many support groups at various times and locations that are open and free to the public.
