Finding the Right Dementia Support Groups: Why One-Size-Fits-All Doesn't Work

from The Disappearing Mind Podcast

Ever sat in a dementia support group feeling more alone than when you walked in? You're not crazy—and you're definitely not alone. In this eye-opening episode, national dementia trainer Dawn Platt reveals why traditional support groups often miss the mark and shares the unspoken truth: it's not about having people around you, it's about having the right people. Whether you're a 42-year-old spouse navigating early-onset dementia, managing care from two states away, or seeking culturally aligned support that honors your family's values, Dawn breaks down exactly how to find your tribe. Plus, she shares her game-changing caregiver checklist that will help you identify what you actually need right now—not what everyone thinks you should need.
