In addition, you may want to join a Facebook group for caregivers:
• LBDA Care Partner Support – This group is specific to care partners of those living with LBD ONLY and is a place to provide support and guidance as well as share information and resources. This group is not for those living with LBD. Lewy Body Dementia Association Care Partner Support | Facebook
• LBDA Living with Lewy – This group is ONLY for those living with LBD with a possible/ probable diagnosis. The goal of this group is to meet the needs of people who are newly diagnosed, who have early symptoms, or have been living with their diagnosis for a while. This group also includes a weekly virtual support group and link to join is sent through the Facebook page. To become a member, you must have your own Facebook profile with profile image.

• LBDA Living Together with Lewy – This is a shared group for those seeking an LBD diagnosis, those living with an LBD diagnosis, and care partners as a way to encourage and to unite into one group with mutual respect and shared insights.

• LBDA Beyond Lewy – provides support, understanding, and assistance with coping for those who have lost a loved one to LBD. Caring for someone with Lewy can be challenging and unpredictable. After the loss, many are left with conflicting emotions such as guilt, relief, or regret. This group is a place to share with others who have traveled the same Lewy journey.
