Monthly Zoom Support Group?

Posted by roz2 @roz2, Oct 9, 2021

Is there a Caregivers:Dementia support group meeting via Zoom the first Thursday of each month? I thought I saw something about it some months ago, and was going to participate last week, but couldn’t find any info about the meeting. Thank you in advance for your help! I’m fairly new to Connect and want to take advantage of all there is to offer for caregivers.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Caregivers: Dementia Support Group.

Hello @roz2

I don't see anything on Mayo's calendar about a Caregivers Support Group Zoom Meeting. I'll tag @jodimelius to see if this is being planned for the future. Stay tuned for more information!

In the meantime, here is a link to the Alzheimer's website that gives information on support groups, https://www.alz.org/help-support/i-have-alz/programs-support

Hello @roz2 ! Yes, we host a virtual caregivers support group 2x/month via zoom- it's called Caring Conversations. It is noted on the ADRC website calendar, but not super easy to find. Please email me and I will share the info and get you signed up to receive the emails, if you are interested. My email is: melius.jodi@mayo.edu
