Posted

Alzheimer Association’s Caregiver Support Group, virtual
June 11 from noon to 1 p.m.
Second Tuesday of every month until May 15, 2025
Support groups create a safe, confidential, supportive environment or community and a chance for participants to develop informal mutual support and social relationships. They also educate and inform participants about dementia and help participants develop methods and skills to solve problems.

To register call the Alzheimer Association help desk at 800-272-3900.

Dementia Conversation
June 11 from noon to 1 p.m.

When someone is showing signs of dementia, it’s time to talk. Often, conversations with family about changing behaviors can be challenging and uncomfortable. This program provides tips for breaking the ice with your family so you can address some of the most common issues that are difficult to discuss: going to the doctor for a diagnosis or medical treatment, deciding when to stop driving, and making legal and financial plans for future care.
