The Alzheimer’s Alliance of Smith County is a local, independent nonprofit organization committed to walking beside all those in Smith County on their journeys with Alzheimer's disease and dementia-related illnesses. The Alliance partners with groups throughout the region to offer support groups on different days and times during the month. In a support group, you will find friends who are also navigating a diagnosis or caring for someone with Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia illness. Whether it's exchanging ideas and tips, finding encouragement through the grief that can accompany the disease, or learning about valuable resources and partners -- a support group is an affirming and safe space to share your journey. For more information, go online at AlzAlliance.com or call 903-509-8373. It is located at 211 Winchester Drive in Tyler.
