SUPPORT GROUPS CAN BE A LIFELINE FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH ALZHEIMER’S
DISEASE AND THEIR CAREGIVERS. SUPPORT GROUPS CREATE A SAFE, CONFIDENTIAL, SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR PARTICIPANTS TO DEVELOP INFORMAL MUTUAL
SUPPORT AND SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS. THEY ALSO OFFER PARTICIPANTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ABOUT DEMENTIA AND DEVELOP METHODS AND
SKILLS TO COPE WITH CHALLENGES.
