WHAT ARE SUPPORT GROUPS?
Our Support Groups are designed to provide a safe, healing space where we can connect with others and find a supportive community. Connecting with a supportive group can help us with feelings of loneliness, shame, guilt, and fear; can reduce stress, depression, anxiety, and despair; and can help us practice healthy coping skills for our struggles.
Alzheimer & Dementia Group
2nd & 4th Wednesdays • 3:00 – 4:00 pm • ZOOM
Are you caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s or Dementia, or do you have a family member or friend that is challenged in one of these areas? Caring for loved ones and supporting friends creates unique challenges for family caregivers that brings increasing responsibilities and demands on time. Join us for a time of fellowship, support, and encouragement with others in this season of life. Please email supportgroups@fmcm.org for the Zoom link and more information.
