Forget Alzheimer’s Mentored Support Group
Are you caring for a person living with dementia?
What are you doing to look after yourself right now?
How are you taking care of yourself right now?
Join my online carers support group - a confidential, non-judgmental, empathetic, and sharing space created specifically for those of us who care for people living with dementia. Forget Alzheimer’s Mentored Support Group takes place online every two weeks and is led by the rules for circle gatherings. They allow caregivers to connect with their personal feelings and emotions and take care of themselves without leaving their own home.
The online meetings I invite you to here are a support group that I created specifically for professional and family caregivers, based on practicing the principles of communication that prevail during meetings in the circle. The Circle is recognized by diverse cultures and religions as a sacred shape, symbolizing transformation and evolution. It allows the free flow of energy, and each participant in a circle gathering is equal.
Sat in front of our screens, each in our own homes, we share our current experiences in a trustworthy space, guided by the rules of the circle gathering:
- Confidentiality: What we say in the circle stays in the circle.
- Everyone gets time to speak.
- Participants talk about themselves and how they feel—no talking about other people.
- Shared statements are not judged; there are no comments or interruptions.
- Nobody gives advice.
Forget Alzheimer’s Mentored Support Group empowers us to carry on with our daily lives by creating a form of mutual support that caregivers give to each other. In addition, meetings in circles also teach participants how to listen, along with qualities such as empathic listening, gratitude, and connection. I recommend support groups for caregivers run on the principles of circle gatherings because the qualities we learn at our meetings become more present in life outside of the circle gathering.
After the meeting in the circle, we feel much better, communicate better, and, thanks to this, our relationships with our loved ones and those under our care also improve.
During the last few years, I have participated in many different circle gatherings, both live and online. These meetings have always helped me connect with my needs and made me feel much better. I call them medicinal.
For the last couple of years, I have been actively participating in meetings in Women's Circles in the Tri-City in Poland. Since my participation in these circles, I was initiated to facilitate them in the Lakota tradition and I am soon to join the Lakota community in Mexico.
As I have been a caregiver myself for the last 18 years, I know that caregivers who are caring for someone living with dementia often feel isolated and are in need of connecting with others and with what’s best for themselves, which has motivated me to create this online support group to enable and support caregivers to look after themselves right now.
