The Alzheimer’s Association Hudson Valley Chapter is seeking Support Group Facilitators for our Hyde Park support group, which meets Second & Fourth Wednesday of every month, 6:30-8:00 p.m. This group is in person in Hyde Park, so please consider travel distance when applying.
Support Group Facilitators create a safe, open environment where people share their feelings, thoughts and experiences in a combined effort to better cope with and manage the shared problems of dementia. The goal of Alzheimer's Association support groups is to provide emotional, social and/or educational support to group members. As facilitators, individuals may be responsible for general caregiver, adult children, spouse, gender-specific or language-specific groups. We provide comprehensive training and support to help facilitators confidently run their groups.
