Virtual Support Groups

CLUBS

Virtual safe spaces where we find community, understanding and connection. Designed exclusively for family members affected by younger-onset dementia.

“At Light CLUB, I feel a real comfort with others and they support me. This CLUB gives me a chance to lend my support too, because I can relate to their story.”
