Support Groups
As a caregiver, family member, or friend of someone who has Alzheimer’s or some other form of dementia or chronic illness, you may feel overwhelmed and frustrated. It often helps to talk with someone who really understands what you are experiencing.
The benefits of joining a support group:
- Realize you are not alone, and others have similar concerns & experiences.
- Support groups provide a safe & supportive environment to express your feelings.
- Support groups allow you to learn helpful information, practical tips & resources to improve the caregiver journey.
- Support groups allow you to gain hope for your situation.
- Support groups allow others to benefit from your experience.
- Support groups help you gain an increased understanding of your unique needs & personality.
