Young-Onset Dementia Support Group
4th Monday of each month
6:30pm
Linger Laugh and Learn Center (1122 1st Ave N, Fargo)
For couples and singles 30-65 years of age who are living with Young-Onset dementia. Living with dementia at any age is challenging but it is especially difficult when it strikes a young person. These individuals may still have children living at home who need care and transportation to their various school-related activities and these families must often also deal with the loss of income that is needed to pay the family’s bills. The concerns and lifestyle changes of living with Young-Onset dementia are different than those diagnosed at a later stage of life. For this reason, Memory Café of the Red River Valley now offers a small group get-together where those living with Young-Onset dementia can speak freely about their struggles, grief, and confusion as well as share resources and ideas that they have found helpful.
For meeting information please email hello@memorycaferrv.org.

4th Wednesday of every month
1:00-2:30pm
Linger Laugh and Learn Center (1122 1st Ave N, Fargo. Use the west entrance on 12th St N)
Memory Cafe is committed to the health and well-being of our community members who care for individuals living with dementia or other memory-related health issues. This special group of men and women meet to share their concerns and ideas, talk about their fears and frustrations, and develop deeply supportive friendships with each other.
All Memory Cafe support groups are free, no reservations or Doctor’s order required – open to anyone caring for someone living with memory loss.
People who are forgetting should not be forgotten.
