Support Groups
Changing Minds Carer Support Group
The Changing Minds Carer Support Group is an informal, social group of people who care for family members or friends who are experiencing memory loss or living with a diagnosis of dementia.
The group began as an initiative driven by local people when Beechworth became a Dementia Friendly Town. Since then the group has grown in experience and respect in providing a solid grounding of support by shared experience, education and knowledge.
The group is guided by volunteer carers with first-hand experience of travelling the journey of Dementia.
BHS supports the work of the Carer Support Group and provides administration support for the group.
The group works together with Dementia Australia and local allied health professionals to provide a comprehensive base from which carers can best manage their situation.
The group meet from 10:30am to 12.00pm, every first Wednesday of every month at The Grand Oaks - 22 Oak Ave Beechworth VIC 3747.
