Caregiver Support Groups

Join other caregivers for refreshments and discussion in a caring, relaxed, and confidential setting. Our groups explore the demands and ways to cope with caring for a loved one and provide valuable information and resources.

These groups are open to all current and former caregivers of an elderly relative, partner or friend. 

All groups listed are offered free of charge.
