Care for the Caregiver
This therapy group is for individuals who have stepped into a primary or part-time caregiving role for a family member or friend. ​A caregiver has their own worries, responsibilities and hopes, but where do they find support and understanding and how do they equip themselves with necessary tools for their own well being?
A caregiver steps into a complex role to care for the medical, physical and/or psychological well being of another, oftentimes without prior medical, emotional or spiritual training. The group will focus on two elements crucial to preventing caregiver burnout:
Connection and Self Care.
Groups are led by Patricia Hannah, LCSW, SP
