Carers support meetings
Some of the most valuable support we receive in life comes from others who have experienced life events similar to our own. For this reason Dementia Jersey offers different opportunities for people to meet for mutual support and encouragement and to share knowledge and experiences.
We have a choice of support groups available throughout each month, held at different time of the day including morning, afternoon and evening meetings at comfortable locations including the Radisson hotel in town, Cooper’s coffee shop at Castle Quay, Holme Grown in Grouville and the Monterey Hotel in St Helier.
These are free, friendly, supportive groups, open to anyone supporting or caring for a relative or friend with dementia. They are informal opportunities to meet others over a cup of good coffee.
Our Dementia Advisor team attend these meetings and will be happy to chat with you too.
