We all like to be independent. But sharing common challenges and solutions can provide comfort, comradeship and better ways to meet the world. Don’t go it alone; find support from people who are in your situation.
Support
It's not always easy being the one people rely on for help. Join others who understand. Share the challenges, experiences and solutions related to caring for loved ones who are ill in a friendly, welcoming forum. Both men and women are encouraged to participate. For more information and referrals, call 310-374-3426 and press option 1 (Monday - Friday, 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m.).
Dementia Caregiver Support Groups
Caring for a loved one with a dementia diagnosis can be overwhelming and stressful. Our support groups offer a safe space to address the challenges that come with caring for someone, find support amongst peers who share similar experiences and openly express your feelings around being a caregiver.
