About this session:
This support group is offered on the third Tuesday of every month

Caring for a person living with dementia and balancing your day-to-day commitments can leave you feeling “sandwiched” between responsibilities.
These meetings offer a supportive and confidential environment in which care partners:
- Meet and discuss common concerns and experiences.
- Exchange ideas and coping strategies.
- Enjoy mutual support from others in an informal environment.
- Gain knowledge and information regarding the nature and progression of the disease and care partner role changes.
We welcome everyone to this inclusive environment for people of different ethnicities, cultures or persons who identify as part of the 2SLGBTQ+ community.
