Alzheimer’s Arkansas will hold a Support Group Facilitator Training on October 3rd. If you are interested in starting a support group, being a facilitator or co-facilitator, this training is for you. The training is at the Alzheimer’s Arkansas office starting at 9:00 a.m. and ending about 4:00 p.m. Lunch is provided and there is no fee charged. The training is required if your group is to be affiliated with Alzheimer’s Arkansas. Due to limited space, registration is required and the deadline to register is Sept. 25. For additional information or to register, contact Priscilla Pittman at 501-224-0021 or 800-689-6090.
Early Stage Alzheimer Patient/Caregiver Group – October 6th through November 3rd, 2008. For the past six years we have offered two sets of five-week support group sessions each year for early stage patients and their families providing them with the opportunity to talk with other patients and caregivers, to search for ways to compensate for failing memory and communication, to learn more about current research and medications and to plan for legal and financial matters. We will be offering a special format that enables this particular population of patients and their loved ones to come together and share support and information. We will invite guest speakers to share their expertise on issues of concern and we will also spend time in two smaller groups to allow for separate support/discussion time for the caregivers and the patients. Our first meeting is Monday, October 6th. from 9:30 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. The two-hour meetings will continue through November 3rd. The meetings will take place at Pleasant Valley Church of Christ, 10900 Rodney Parham Rd. Parking is available next to the building.
If you know of families you believe would profit from participation with this group please contact Priscilla Pittman, MSW, MA at Alzheimer’s Arkansas Programs and Services by phone at 224-0021, fax 227-6303 or mail: 10411 W. Markham, Suite 130, Little Rock, AR 72205-1409. Those planning to attend will need to make reservations.
