\"\"<\/a>The challenges and emotions that come with caregiving for an individual with Alzheimer\u2019s disease or other forms 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 Alzheimer\u2019s Association, Central New York Chapter welcomes individuals impacted by Alzheimer\u2019s disease or other dementia to attend one of its support groups that meet 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

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
