Our Caregiver Support Group meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 2:00
pm. the group is intended as a guide for the
challenging issues that face
caregivers. We call on various speakers in their noted fields to discuss issues
that are pertinent to the group. We provide emotional support and information
about community services that are available for more in-depth help and support.
Participation in a support group is designed to
help normalize the experience of care giving and decrease feelings of burden.
Our hope is that "Equipping the Caregiver" will
help neutralize the stress of care giving and make caregivers feel more hopeful.
