Peer Support Groups

Our peer-led support groups provide care partners with the opportunity to discuss both practical and emotional needs related to caring for a family member with Alzheimer’s Disease or other dementias. These groups are facilitated by volunteers who have lived experience as care partners and have received training on group facilitation. Participants and peer facilitators decide on the focus and direction of the group.

Teleconnect

Teleconnect offers regular outreach and check-in calls, providing a friendly listening ear to help build connections with socially isolated people living with dementia and care partners. 

Volunteers collaborate closely with AST staff to offer additional support when needed.
