Caregiver Support Groups

At support groups, caregivers learn and reinforce good self-care, give and receive encouragement and enjoy support and understanding from others in similar situations. Family Caregiver Connection staff lead each group and provide education and information to meet group members' needs.

"The support group has been life saving for me. I was overwhelmed and lost before connecting with Family Caregiver Connection. Becoming part of a support group seemed scary; however, I have been welcomed and supported by others experiencing similar situations."  Support Group Attendee

 

The groups explore issues such as:

  • Balancing roles and responsibilities
  • Maintaining personal balance
  • Planning for legal needs
  • Understanding and dealing with the realities of chronic illnesses
  • Coping with depression
  • Developing support systems
  • Accessing community resources
