We understand the daily challenges faced by caregivers, which is why caregiver education and support is a major part of the mission of the Byrd Institute.  We offer the following services to help caregivers as the navigate the Alzheimer's journey with their loved one.

CAREGIVER SUPPORT GROUP

Support groups provide an excellent opportunity to talk to other caregivers in similar situations. Currently our monthly support group meets the first Thursday of every month from 2-4pm on Zoom.

Our caregiver support group is for individuals caring for a family member or friend with Alzheimer's or other dementias. You do not need to be seeing a provider at the Byrd Institute to attend the support group. 

For more information or to attend, email Eileen Poiley at epoiley@usf.edu for the Zoom link. 

CAREGIVER WORKSHOPS

We conduct several caregiver workshops every month to provide critical information and practical tips to help caregivers. The workshops are currently being conducted on Zoom.
