Have you ever thought about attending a support group but were reluctant to give it a try?

Support groups are a safe place to share feelings and experiences, and many people find them to be invaluable resources.

A support group is a place to:

• Exchange practical information on caregiving problems and possible solutions
• Talk through challenges and ways of coping
• Share feelings, needs and concerns
• Learn about resources available in your community

All of our support groups are facilitated by trained individuals. In addition to caregiver support groups, we also have support groups designed specifically for people in the early stages of Alzheimer’s. We are currently offering early stage support groups in Birmingham and Taylor (and soon, in Sterling Heights too!). To learn more or to register, please dial our 24/7 Helpline at 800-272-3900.
