The NW Ohio Huron County Caregiver Support Group and the Understanding Alzheimer's and Dementia program offer valuable resources and support for individuals affected by Alzheimer's and dementia. The support group provides a safe and confidential environment for caregivers to foster mutual support, share experiences, and gain social connections while educating participants about dementia and problem-solving skills. Meanwhile, the Understanding Alzheimer's and Dementia session focuses on dispelling myths surrounding these conditions by discussing the distinctions between Alzheimer's and dementia, their stages, risk factors, current research, and available treatments, along with resources from the Alzheimer's Association. Together, these initiatives empower caregivers and raise awareness about dementia-related challenges.
