It's very beneficial for family members and caregivers involved with caring for an individual with Alzheimer's disease to attend Coping/Support Group meetings.  By attending meetings you will feel less alone and learn that others share in your feelings, frustrations and concerns.

The Alzheimer's Association Midlands Chapter sponsors the following Coping/Support Groups at the times and locations listed below.  For information on these groups, please call (402) 572-3010 in Omaha or
