Our Caregiver Support Group
meets once a month, for two hours beginning at 7:30pm in the evening. The
format of the group depends on the needs of members who attend. Our
Caregiver Support Group is not a therapy group, is not based
on a particular disease or affiliated with a particular care facility and is
not just for seniors.
Our Caregiver Support Group
offers you:
-
A short break from the
caregiver role.
-
A place where in a
supportive but confidential atmosphere, you can talk to others who will
take the time to listen, understand and share thoughts, feelings and
concerns experienced by all Caregivers.
-
A place where you will
not be judged but be given support by others who have been there and may
assist you to find your way.
-
A place where you can
learn about such issues as stress management, nutrition, and back care as
well as other supports and services available in the community.
-
A place where through
sharing with others, the importance of you role as a Caregiver is
affirmed.
