Support Groups

Virtual Support Group for Persons with a Diagnosis

This support group is for persons WITH a Diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment, Early Stage Alzheimer's, FTD, Vascular Dementia or Lewy Body Dementia. It is the place to discuss experiences related to living with a diagnosis and to discuss the hard questions with people who know first hand what you're going through. 

Members will provide each other with support, tips, and coping strategies. This sharing experience helps participants feel empowered to navigate life with a diagnosis and to build community.

Every Wednesday 10AM Central / 11AM Eastern

Memory Café

Memory Café meetings are an opportunity for those with a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment, early stage Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal disease (FTD), vascular dementia or Lewy Body disease to connect with others navigating life with a similar diagnosis. The groups tend to have a lighter more casual atmoshpere. Each meeting has a theme to engage members, build community and share memories and experiences. 

Memory Cafe meets virtually Tuesdays and Thursdays every week. Groups also get together for in-person events.

 Virtual Family Support Groups

3 Different Times Weekly

At times like this, caregivers for those living with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias can feel especially isolated and alone. 

These groups will "meet" weekly with an Alzheimer's Tennessee staff member as the host.  Support partners who are family and friends are invited to join online or by phone.

For many individuals with Alzheimer's and their care partners, support groups provide significant comfort and practical help in coping with the disease. Oftentimes, these "gatherings" serve as important sources of information as well as outlets for feelings and frustrations.
