Online support groups come in several formats, including:

- Social media groups
- Web-call meetups (like video calls) The Alzheimer's Association also has a directory to help find support groups, both in-person and online, by location. It's worth exploring what format feels most comfortable for you.

You are not alone in this journey, and connecting with others who understand can make a real difference. 💙
