Questions about dementia and alzheimer's groups in Pennsylvania
Are there free dementia and alzheimer's groups in Pennsylvania?
Yes. 3 of the 3 dementia and alzheimer's groups listed in Pennsylvania are free to join. Each listing states its own cost, so you know before you reach out.
Can I join an online dementia and alzheimer's group from Pennsylvania?
There are 10 online dementia and alzheimer's groups on The Group Guide. Peer-led and community groups usually accept members from anywhere. Therapist-led groups may only accept people in the states where the leader is licensed, and each listing says who can join.
What is the difference between a dementia and alzheimer's support group and a dementia and alzheimer's therapy group?
A support group is usually led by a peer or volunteer and centers on shared experience. A therapy group is led by a licensed clinician and works toward treatment goals. Listings show whether a licensed professional leads the group.
Do I need a referral to join?
Most groups on The Group Guide accept self-referrals: you contact the group directly. Some insurance-covered groups ask for a referral, and the listing will say so.
How do I know a listing is current?
Group leaders write their own listings, and listings show when their details were last checked. That check confirms the group's details match its own website. It is not a clinical review or an endorsement.
If you need help now
A support group is not crisis care. If you or someone you know is struggling right now:
- Call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Free, confidential, 24/7.
