How do I get a nentor

Mentors are not hard to find. In my case I do mentor a number of people. Some I have met through my Spousal Support Group while others I have met through conferences I have gone to. Mentorship is a unique experience and I find I actually learn from those I mentor. In addition, I have mentored others that I became aware of through here as well as other functions I attend such as church. When someone mentions they have a relative or friend with Alzheimer's i strongly suggest attending the Support Groups. Generally I find out they are thinking that they are on this journey alone. Once they join a Support group they have access to others in the same situation and frienships are formed. When this happens i encotage them to do 'coffee' with their friend as well as call at least once a week to share what is happening in their relationship with their Loved One.
