Caring for a loved one with dementia can feel overwhelming. The stress, confusion, and emotional burden of caregiving are real—and too many family caregivers in Wyoming try to face it alone.
Join the Dementia Caregiver Support Group in Cheyenne, WY
That is why I lead a free Dementia Caregiver Support Group at the Laramie County Library in Cheyenne, WY. This monthly group is designed for family members, spouses, and friends caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease or another type of dementia. Together, we share resources, learn practical caregiving tips, and find the encouragement needed to keep going.
Caregiver Support Group Details
Where: Laramie County Library – Willow Room (first floor)
When: The fourth Friday of every month, from 2:00–3:00 PM
Cost: Free and open to all dementia caregivers in Cheyenne and the surrounding area
Why Attend a Dementia Support Group?
Joining a dementia caregiver support group can help you:
Reduce caregiver stress and burnout
Gain practical dementia caregiving strategies you can use every day
Connect with other families who understand the dementia journey
Learn how to manage challenging behaviors, memory loss, and communication changes
Preserve your own health and well-being while caring for your loved one
Many caregivers say that being in a room with others who “get it” makes them feel less isolated and more confident. Support groups are more than just meetings—they are a lifeline.
Why I Lead This Group
For me, this work is deeply personal. My name is Amy, which comes from the Latin amore—meaning love. I was raised by parents who taught me to be kind, generous, and loving, and those values guide me still.
Leading this caregiver support group fills my cup. I am inspired every month by the resilience, vulnerability, and honesty that caregivers bring into the room. I love being able to provide reassurance, normalization, and validation—helping caregivers see that what they are experiencing is both real and shared.
This group is not just about education; it is about connection, love, and walking this journey together.
