Support Groups for People Living with Dementia
Find your community of support
Our support groups for people living with dementia offer a welcoming setting to talk about experiences and feelings that may be difficult to share with friends or family.
What to expect when you join a support group
Having a diagnosis of dementia or experiencing signs and symptoms related to the disease can lead to a variety of thoughts, feelings and emotions, including feelings of worry or frustration.
This group will give you an opportunity to:
- Learn about dementia and its progression
- Share feelings and common experiences
- Exchange practical coping strategies and mutual support
- Have meaningful conversations
