Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia can leave those with the disease and their care partners feeling isolated.

However, you are not alone. There are other people to share the journey with you!

The Alzheimer Society of Manitoba offers Support Groups for People with Dementia and Support Groups for Family & Friends.

These groups are there for people who want to inform themselves with current information that will help improve quality of life with the disease. It’s a safe environment where you can learn, laugh, and help each other through mutual understanding.

In Winnipeg, there are two weekly groups available on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 am to 11:30 am. Meetings are held at the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba's Provincial office at 10-120 Donald Street.
