Our Caregiver Support Group meets twice a month on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month, 1 p.m., at the Ashland Community Center. Our next meeting is Thursday, January 12. We strive to give everyone a chance to speak and share their experiences, tips and resources. We aim to treat everyone with dignity and respect.
As a family caregiver for an ailing parent, child, spouse, or other loved one, you’re likely to face a host of new responsibilities, many of which are unfamiliar or intimidating. At times you may feel overwhelmed and alone. But despite its challenges, caregiving can also be rewarding. There are a lot of things you can do to make the caregiving process easier and more pleasurable for both you and your loved one. Come learn tips that can help, and get the support you need while caring for someone you love in a way that may benefit both of you. Remember to give yourself credit for doing the best you can in one of the toughest jobs there is. We are here to support you. Happy New Year to all!
