Get the emotional support you need
Support groups provide consumers, their families, friends and caregivers the opportunity to meet regularly and learn more about the disease, share caregiving ideas, express feelings and learn about advances in research and advocacy. The Alzheimer's Association provides a variety of support groups throughout its nine county region. For more information, please call 585.760.5400 or email beth.barnard@alz.org
We have many support groups, at various times and locations. Check to see if there is a group close to you that fits your needs.
