Caregiver Support Groups in Multiple Languages
Support groups help families and caregivers of the person diagnosed with dementia by:
- Maintaining and increasing feelings of self-worth and control by sharing common problems.
- Group members can experience emotional relief, develop greater self-awareness and understanding and acquire new and more positive attitudes.
- People learn to share problems and help each other cope more effectively in a safe, caring environment.
- Groups help people form new and meaningful relationships and make them aware of various community services. By working together, people feel less helpless.
- Support groups provide a forum to learn and understand how to cope with and care for people with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.
- Support groups are free.
