General Support Groups for Care Partners

You are not alone.

Dementia can leave those living with the disease and their care partners feeling isolated. You are not alone. There are other people to share the journey with you! Support groups offer the opportunity to meet, interact with and learn from others who are living with dementia. It’s a safe environment where you can share, laugh, and help each other through mutual understanding.

We currently offer in-person and virtual support groups to meet you where you’re at. Learn more below.

All of our support groups are inclusive environments for people of different ethnicities, cultures or persons who identify as part of the 2SLGBTQ+ community.

In-person offerings

To register, please send an email including your name, contact information (i.e. telephone number and email address) and the date/time of the group you are interested in attending.
