Young Onset Peer Support Group
Address
Various in Gravesend & Dartford
What we do
Our Young Onset Peer Support Group – Kindred Spirits, is for people diagnosed with dementia under the age of 65. Their carers, family and friends are also welcomed.
People living with young-onset dementia can experience different challenges to older people living with the diagnosis. They may have different symptoms which can include changes in personality, difficulties with vision and language as well as memory loss.
The diagnosis can be harder to accept for younger people as it is rare at their age. They can experience other age-related difficulties due to still being in work, having younger children and having other responsibilities such as caring for their own parents.
We currently have two groups that meet throughout the month, and they are in Gravesend & Dartford.
People benefit from the opportunity to share their experiences, tips and advice. They also benefit from forming new friendships.
Please contact our Wellbeing Team on 01474 533990 or email info@alz-dem.org for more information. This is a free service however donations are welcomed to sustain the groups.
