Coffee Club Support Group
The Coffee Club Support Group is created for persons living with dementia (PLWD), their care partners and families. In the initial segment of the support group, participants come together for shared discussions. However, the second half of the session is dedicated to separate meetings for care partners and PLWD. This unique format allows for focused conversations where care partners and PLWD can openly express their feelings, share triumphs, and discuss challenges on an individual basis.
