Support Groups

FCA facilitates and sponsors several types of support groups, both in person and online.

Caregiver Online Support Group

This is an unmoderated group for families, partners, and other caregivers who want a safe place to discuss the stresses, challenges, and rewards of providing care for adults with disorders such as Alzheimer’s, stroke, brain injury, and other chronic debilitating health conditions.

Solicitations and advertisements of ANY kind; academic, commercial, journalistic, or any other reason, are STRICTLY PROHIBITED.

Are you conducting a Research study or Clinical trial? Please click here. 

This group is in e-mail format. Participants send and receive e-mail to take part in discussions. You can receive your posts all together, in one delivery each day, or you can receive them one-by-one, as they are sent. The choice is yours. It’s fun, easy, and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. To subscribe to Caregiver Online Support Group, complete the form below and click the submit button.
