I scrolled through the events and could not find one specific to dementia. Looks like a generic Caregivers group??

That's correct, @maryvc. It is a support group for caregivers, regardless of the diagnosis of the person you care for.

I just started a five week group on Zoom based on the work of Teepa Snow. Very helpful. This is offered through our 60 plus program at the Jewish Community Center. It costs 35.00.
It would be great to find more Zoom support programs that are free.

Thanks, I already participate in that wonderful zoom mtg. I wanted to know if Mayo had a zoom specifically for caregivers of those with dementia.

Teepa is a terrific resource. Free is so important at my age. The Mayo zoom for caregivers on Thurs is terrific. Colleen posted the link.
