Caregivers Support Group returns Oct. 2
Posted
The Fountain Hills Caregivers Support Group begins its 2017-2018 season on Monday, October 2. The meeting starts at 11 a.m. in the Town of Fountain Hills Activity Center at the Fountain Hills Community Center.
The meeting will feature open discussion groups in which attendees can talk about any of a broad range of care giving issues, such as how to manage the effects of caregiving on the caregiver’s personal health, as well as contending with the emotional strain and drain of caring for a family member.
In addition, attendees are encouraged to bring their own care giving materials to the meeting. These include resources they may have collected, such as books, articles, pamphlets, and even websites. This sharing of information allows for the exchange of thoughts and ideas about possible solutions to particular care-giving concerns.
For more information, contact Jim Judge at 480-209-8755, or Bill Whittaker at 480-837-7961.
Open to all caregivers regardless of age, affliction or disease, or place of residence, the Fountain Hills Caregivers Support Group offers a responsive environment where caregivers may discover they are neither unique in their situation nor alone in their feelings and experiences. It allows caregivers to exchange ideas and information, find solutions to similar problems, and suggest discussion topics for future meetings. It is also an opportunity for caregivers to develop informal networks and peer groups for extended support.
