Build a support network with people who understand.
Alzheimer's Association support groups are a safe place for caregivers and loved ones of people with dementia to:
- Develop a support system.
- Exchange practical information on challenges and possible solutions.
- Talk through issues and ways of coping.
- Share feelings, needs and concerns.
- Learn about community resources.
