Often caregivers feel isolated and think they’re alone in facing the challenges of caring for a family member, especially one with Alzheimer’s or some form of dementia. Even if there is a caregivers’ support group in their community, it’s not always easy to get away to attend meetings.
Online communities have become a boon to caregivers, where they can meet with others online who are having similar challenges.
Forgetful Not Forgotten is a community that’s evolving out of the film of the same name, by Chris Wynn about his father’s experience. In this community you’ll be able to share your experiences and gain encouragement from others.
The movie, Forgetful Not Forgotten, premieres January 11 on TVO. You also can see excerpts of the film at the Forgetful Not Forgotten site (link above).
