Family Caregiver Support Groups

There are virtual caregiver support groups weekly to support you as a caregiver during this time. If you are unfamiliar with support groups and considering attending, this article on “The Value of Peer Support” offers an introduction.

The most important element of any support group is to create a safe and confidential space. In a support group, Shared Understandings (also known as ‘ground rules’ or ‘group guidelines’) create this safe and confidential space for caregivers in group meetings.

For some examples of Shared Understandings that we have found helpful over our 30+ years of facilitating caregiver groups read here. For examples of Shared Understandings for virtual meetings, read here.
