Alzheimer\u2019s Association support\ngroups provide an opportunity for people to share personal experiences and\nfeelings, and coping strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The power of the group lies within the connections made\nbetween participants, who develop a bond that bridges the emotional void faced\nby caregivers. The relationships formed within the group often extend beyond\nthe monthly meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to caregiver support groups, the Chapter offers\nearly-stage support groups. These provide peer-to-peer conversation and support\nfor individuals living in the disease\u2019s early stages. Groups are open to the\nindividual living with dementia and their caregiver, and advanced screening is\nrecommended prior to attending by calling our office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Chapter also offers specialized support groups that\naddress the specific caregiving concerns felt by LGBT caregivers, spousal\ncaregivers, and care partners of those living with younger-onset Alzheimer\u2019s\ndisease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All support groups are free of charge to attend and\nfacilitated by trained individuals.
