Finding Support Together

Experiencing signs or symptoms of dementia or caring for someone living with the disease can raise uncertainty, fears and unknowns. The Alzheimer Society is a place to turn for a community of support. Support groups are a great way for both people living with dementia and care partners to connect with others they can lean on for guidance, encouragement and understanding – which can be a truly grounding and comforting experience. With a variety of groups offered virtually and in person, you can share, laugh and help others who are on a similar path with dementia. View current support group offerings at alzheimer.mb.ca.
