Telephone Support Group

The Alzheimer’s Association – North Central Texas Chapter is now offering a telephone support group for individuals providing care for persons with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia. The telephone support group is designed to provide the caregiver opportunities for sharing, education, and support through a telephone conference. Telephone support group participants and a telephone support group facilitator connect with each other for one-hour sessions twice per month.  Read the informational flyer here.  Space is limited and participants will be added as a slot is available. 

For further information please contact Judy Budlong at 817.336.4949 or 800.272.3900.
