Monthly Drop-In Caregiving Support Group: For Dementia and Alzheimer's Caregivers
Caregiving is challenging.
If you're responsible for a loved one, caregiver support groups are a way for you and others to share information, insight, advice, or words of encouragements in a safe and supporting space.
Please join facilitator, Karen LaBanca, for our Monthly Drop-In Caregiving Support Group - a chance for caregivers and their families to take some time for themselves.
