Caring for a Parent with Dementia: An 8-Week Group for Adult Children
Caring for a parent with dementia often involves ongoing emotional and practical adjustments that can be difficult to fully process in real time.
This structured, closed group offers space to slow that experience down through a combination of guided discussion and brief psychoeducation.
This group may be helpful for people experiencing
- caregiver stress or burnout
- guilt, overwhelm, or emotional fatigue
- shifts in family roles and responsibilities
- uncertainty in responding to dementia-related changes
- difficulty maintaining personal balance while caregiving
Group details

Format
Each session includes a brief check-in, a focused topic, and facilitated group discussion. The structure is consistent from week to week so participants can build continuity and familiarity over time.

Adult children currently caring for a parent with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia who are looking for structured support and space to reflect on the emotional and practical aspects of caregiving. This group is not appropriate for those experiencing crisis.
