Attending a support group can be an invaluable experience for both carers and people with Alzheimer’s. Sometimes just knowing that what is happening to you has happened to others can make life easier.
Support groups can provide a rewarding environment where you can share concerns, get helpful advice and meet people who really understand what they are going through. They can offer suggestions on how to cope and just hearing how someone else deals with similar problems can help. People from all ages and backgrounds attend, including adults, family members, caregivers, and healthcare professionals.
