Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

What to expect
A trained facilitator leads each group, which can meet by phone, by video, or in person. Caregiver groups are for unpaid family members and friends, not paid caregivers. Early-stage groups are for people with a doctor's diagnosis and require a prescreening before you join.
Tips for your first visit
- Call ahead to confirm the day, time and format, since group details change.
- Ask about phone or video options if travel is hard.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Open to any unpaid caregiver, free to join, with a 24/7 helpline and a group finder. Early-stage groups need a diagnosis and a prescreening call first..
