Young Caregiver Virtual Support Group

About This Program

Our caregiver peer support groups provide a safe environment to learn, share, express and help each other through mutual understanding and support. These groups are co-facilitated by an individual with lived experience with dementia, and a trained Dementia Society Care Coach. Experience a compassionate environment and receive up-to-date, accurate information.

This is a specialized peer Support Group for young caregivers. Topics discussed range from young caregiver issues such as the challenges of multiple responsibilities, such as paid employment, parenting and family relationships, to general caregiving for a person living with dementia.
