\"\"<\/a>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.<\/p>\n

The Alzheimer\u2019s Association, Central New York Chapter welcomes caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer\u2019s disease or other dementia, as well as individuals with early-stage Alzheimer\u2019s disease, to attend one of its support groups meeting throughout the region.<\/p>\n

Support groups are a community of peers that exist 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. 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, and advanced screening is recommended prior to attending by calling the number listed with the support group.<\/p>\n

The Chapter has also partnered with the Spanish Action League in Syracuse, or La Liga de Acci\u00f3n Hispa\u00f1a, to provide a support group for Spanish-speaking caregivers. The group will meet at the Spanish Action League\u2019s Syracuse office, 700 Oswego St., on the first Wednesday of each month at\u00a06 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n

All support groups are free of charge to attend and facilitated by trained individuals. For more information, call\u00a01-800-272-3900<\/a>\u00a0or email\u00a0cny-programs@alz.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n
