Family Caregiver Support Group – Begins May 6, from 2:00PM – 3:30PM
We are very glad to be hosting an Alzheimer’s Association caregiver support group for unpaid care partners, family members and friends of individuals with memory loss.  The group is just getting started and is open to long-time or new caregivers.  The group meets once monthly (for now) on the first Monday from 2 to 3.30 pm here at WCSC.  The next meeting is this coming Monday May 6th.  Please help us spread the word.  Caregivers often need encouragement to seek out support for themselves.  Are you a caregiver? Is someone in your family, a friend, or a neighbor a caregiver?
The magnitude of caregiving in the US is pretty staggering.  Here’s an easy to understand link with a recent snapshot of statistics.  http://www.caregiver.org/caregiver/jsp/content_node.jsp?nodeid=439    Download the flyer here.
