Our Support Groups provide an invaluable network that caregivers for people with Dementia and Alzheimer's can turn to for advice and encouragement. We recognize that caregiving is impossible alone and our support group facilitators create a place for that important interaction by encouraging conversation and maintaining a positive and caring environment.
Our volunteers continuously learn and grow alongside the support group participants while serving a population in need of great support. "I couldn't care for mom alone," said Maria a caregiver "We Latinos are very close, but we also need resources. I want my community to know that there are government resources and community resources that are available to help us. The Alzheimer's Association helped connect us to some things we needed." Support Group Facilitators help us reach more individuals by sharing resources and providing a safe space to discuss the challenges associated with caregiving.
We currently have over 80 support groups for caregivers and want to expand our reach by training new volunteers from throughout Washington State. Help provide support and hope to those who work everyday to care for loved ones with Dementia by joining us as a volunteer.
Support Group Facilitators are asked to commit at least 10 months as a volunteer
