Zicharon
Dementia, Caregiver Support, Mental Health, Elderly Support
Location Served: New York and New Jersey
Zicharon provides support services for individuals caring for loved ones with dementia. Its primary offering is caregiver support groups facilitated by trained professionals who are both frum and personally experienced in dementia care. These support meetings offer a structured, empathetic space for caregivers to connect with others in similar situations, exchange advice, and receive guidance from facilitators familiar with both clinical and communal contexts.
Support groups focus on helping caregivers navigate the emotional, practical, and halachic challenges that often arise when caring for someone with dementia. Participants are encouraged to share their experiences, ask questions, and benefit from the collective wisdom of the group. The meetings also serve as a platform for ongoing peer support and community building.
In addition to group meetings, Zicharon provides information and resources relevant to dementia caregiving, often focusing on issues unique to the Orthodox community. The organization’s facilitators are both professionally trained and sensitized to the cultural and religious nuances of frum caregiving environments, making the guidance particularly relevant and relatable.
