Peer Support Group for Care Partners
Zoom

 

 

Our peer-led support groups provide care partners with the opportunity to discuss both practical and emotional needs related to caring for a family member with Alzheimer's Disease or other dementias. These groups are facilitated by volunteers who have lived experience as care partners and have received training on group facilitation. Participants and peer facilitators decide on the focus and direction of the group.

Learning Objectives:

Provide a safe setting which promotes mutual support, both practical and emotional, throughout the course of the disease

Enhance care partner's knowledge of the illness, available supports, and coping strategies.

This group meets online on the second Friday of every month from 10:30am to 12:00pm.

Registration and a short pre-screening are required before attending this support group.
