Disease-Specific Family Caregiver Support Groups

Please note that support groups are facilitated by independent community volunteers or community organization staff and are not supervised or overseen by FCBC, with the exception of groups specifically identified as FCBC groups. While we offer initial support group training to volunteers, we cannot take responsibility for the content of non-FCBC support groups or the conduct of facilitators or participants. Peer-to-peer support groups are not a substitute for health advice or an opinion from a qualified health practitioner.
