    Caregiver support groups

    Our caregiver support groups offer comfort, reassurance, practical advice and a community of people who are facing similar challenges. These meetings are for unpaid family members or friends caring for someone living with Alzheimer’s disease, another dementia or a related disorder. People who attend should be comfortable and open to discussing their experience in a group setting.

    Support group details are updated regularly and subject to change. Please call or email the meeting contact before attending to confirm that days, times and locations are accurate as listed. Please note that our caregiver support groups are not appropriate for professionals or paid caregivers.

    To get a full list of our support groups, view our quarterly Community Programs and Services Guide (PDF).

    ALZConnected® online community
