    Wisconsin Alzheimer’s and Dementia Support Groups

    Wisconsin Alzheimer’s and Dementia Support Groups
    The Alzheimer’s Association holds local support groups for caregivers and individuals living with Alzheimer's or other dementia, from Milwaukee to Madison, Wausau to Green Bay and everywhere in-between. We work to bring care and support to every community so that no one has to face dementia alone. Participants will find a safe, confidential and supportive environment where they can develop social relationships.

    Trained facilitators lead these groups via phone, video or in person. All services and resources are free. See below for a list of all Wisconsin virtual and in-person support groups / search our Community Resource Finder for a group near you.

    Early-stage support groups

    Our early-stage support groups intend to provide a safe and positive environment for individuals who have a physician’s diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, another dementia or a related disorder, and their caregivers. People who attend should be comfortable and open to discussing their diagnosis and symptoms in a group setting.

    Prescreening is required prior to enrollment. For more information, call the Alzheimer’s Association 24/7 Helpline at 800.272.3900.
