Support Groups
Through various support groups, families and those living with dementia share personal experiences, expanding their social network and enhancing feelings of self-worth and control. Trained facilitators lead these groups, providing emotional relief and effective coping strategies.
We provide specialized support through three distinct types of support groups.
The first, known as 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.
The second type of support group we offer is the Care Partner Support Group. Tailored specifically for care partners and families, these groups provide a space to connect with others navigating the complexities of the dementia journey. These gatherings serve as valuable platforms for sharing experiences, offering mutual support, and collectively learning from the diverse perspectives within our community.
The third type of support group we offer is the Hospital & LTC Care Partner Support Group. This group is designed for care partners, family members, and friends who have a loved one in the hospital or long-term care (LTC) settings. It provides a dedicated space to navigate the unique challenges and celebrate the triumphs of caring for someone in these environments. Participants can openly discuss their experiences, share valuable insights, and find mutual support from others who understand the complexities of hospital and LTC caregiving.
