\"Alzheimer\u2019s-Association\"<\/a>The Alzheimer\u2019s Association, Central New York Chapter invites caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer\u2019s disease or other form of dementia to join a community of their peers and attending a support group.<\/p>\n

The challenges and emotions that come with caregiving for an individual with Alzheimer\u2019s disease or other form of dementia can be overwhelming. It can be a stressful endeavor surrounded by anxiety, worry and guilt, and many feel as if they are alone in their journey. The reality is that a community of their peers exists to support one another. These peer- or professionally-led groups for individuals, caregivers and others dealing with Alzheimer\u2019s disease or a related form of dementia.<\/p>\n

Caregiver support groups promote an open forum of sharing and discussion among people facing many of the same issues. The group\u2019s power rests within its members\u2019 ability to show compassion, develop strategies and empower its members to provide the highest quality care possible. Early-stage groups provide peer-to-peer conversation and support for individuals specifically diagnosed in the disease\u2019s early stages. Groups are open to the individual with the disease and the caregiver (as noted), and advanced screening is recommended prior to attending by calling the office nearest you.<\/p>\n

All support groups are free of charge to attend and facilitated by trained individuals. For more information, call 1-800-272-3900<\/a> or email cny-programs@alz.org<\/a>. Upcoming meetings include:<\/p>\n
