Description

Elena and Brooks walk through caregiver support groups in the Chicago area: in-person, virtual and condition-specific groups, free help lines, and how to choose the right group.

• The Alzheimer's Association Illinois Chapter offers groups by webinar, phone or in person, and a 24-hour Helpline at 800.272.3900.
• NAMI Chicago runs virtual family support groups, and says all of its support groups are free.
• Chicago Commons hosts a caregiver group on Zoom on the first Thursday of each month, led by a RUSH clinical social worker.
• Chicago's Senior Services Hotline (312-744-4016) and the Illinois Senior HelpLine (1-800-252-8966) connect caregivers with programs.
• Before you join, ask about the group's focus, format, leader and cost, and confirm the next meeting date.
