Caregiving Support Groups

It can be very frustrating, upsetting, overwhelming… It can be awful!

But, it’s even more awful when you’re all alone. Our online support groups (with more to come) offer comfort during difficult times and celebrations during those special moments.

To join one of our groups, simply click on the name the group, below, to be directed to a subscription page. Once you complete the sign-up form, you’ll receive a confirmation e-mail message. Reply to the confirmation message to complete your subscription. If you have any problems subscribing, please e-mail Denise; she’ll be glad to add you to the group.

Before joining, please read our Tips, which describe how our groups work. For your privacy and convenience, our members communicate via e-mail messages. To help everyone stay on the same page, we find it helpful to remember The Four Agreements.

Our current groups:

Caregiving Support: This group helps family caregivers of aging relatives.

Gay-Lesbian Support: For family caregivers who are gay or lesbian.

Grieving Support: For family caregivers grieving the loss of their care recipients.

Long-distance Support: For family caregivers who care from a distance.

Sandwiched Support: For family caregivers raising children and caring for aging relatives.

Spousal Support: For spouses in a caregiving role.

We’ll add these groups in the next few weeks; you are welcome to join as many groups as you’d like:

• Christian Support: For family caregivers who are Christians.
• Godspeed Support: For family caregivers whose roles have ended and who are looking to start the next phase of their lives.
• Nursing Home Support: For family caregivers whose care recipients reside in a nursing home.

Would you like to be notified when we add a new group? Simply send Denise an e-mail with the the name of the group you’d like to join. She’ll let you know when the group is up and running. Thanks so much for joining us!
