Professionals Support Group
Professionals Support Group
Second Wednesdays: 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm
Our General Support Groups and some of our other support groups are restricted to non-professionals (friends and family only). This is done to ensure a safe environment for our families. Recognizing that professionals need help and support as well, this group is designed exclusively for the challenges professionals face. If you work in memory care, assisted living, skilled nursing, home care, or provide another professional service for people with brain change, we invite you to come to this meeting where you can share your thoughts, ideas, and concerns. Join in-person or online. Professionals Welcomed.
