Brotherhood of Caregivers - Men Caring for Loved Ones Suffering From Dementia

Most men were raised to “handle it” on their own. To tough it out. To put everyone else first.
Caregiving for a person with dementia isn’t a one-man job. It can be a test of endurance, patience and strength and no one should carry that weight alone.
That’s why we formed the Brotherhood of Caregivers. This isn’t about therapy or “talking about feelings”. It’s about joining other men who know what it means to fight through long nights, hard days and impossible choices.
Asking for help doesn’t make you weak. It makes you stronger for the ones who need you most. Straight talk – no judgment, no pressure and a Team that’s got your back when the weight feels heavy.
Join with us to share your most pressing caregiving challenges with other men who are or have been in your shoes. Learn about local caregiving resources, ask questions and help us identify topics of interest for future discussion. Local experts will be invited over time to address specific areas of concern.
As group coordinator having cared for my wife suffering from vascular dementia for a decade, I personally know how lonely and stressful it is and NO ONE who hasn't been there can understand what you face. The pain of slowly losing your loved one never ceases. There can be comfort in talking with others who are at the same place. Give us a try!
