Our Carer Support Groups are an opportunity for Carers to meet in a comfortable and confidential forum and discuss any issues, challenges, ideas and topics relevant to their personal experiences.  The Support Groups have often provided Carers with very practical tips on caring for a person with dementia and a strong support network is built for people in like-situations.

The Groups are held on a monthly basis in many different locations throughout Auckland (including West Auckland, North Shore and Rodney district).  Location and contact details are provided below.
