Early Stage Strategy Group

The Early Stage Strategy Group is a series of sessions designed for the person who is mildly cognitively impaired, due to Alzheimer's or other dementia, and a family member. The sessions are educational and supportive, addressing the clinical aspects of the disease, the impact of the diagnosis on self and family members, changes in communication and behaviors, and coping strategies. The sessions are facilitated by professionals knowledgeable about Alzheimer’s disease and family dynamics.

Participants must be aware of their illness and be willing and able to share in a group setting. Initial screening is required to determine eligibility for the group. Participation is limited to the person with the diagnosis and one family member, preferably the primary caregiver.
