Welcome!

We welcome you to join other caregivers in a supportive environment to share challenges, successes, and concerns you may have within your caregiving role.

Each Online Support Group is led by two trained-peer facilitators who also have lived experience as a caregiver. Within each group, you will hear diverse caregiving experiences (e.g., different health conditions being cared for and/or different relationships to the care recipient). If you are more interested in connecting individually with a caregiver who is experiencing a similar situation to your own, please register for our 1:1 Peer Support program.

- Tuesday between 10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. EST– offered the first and third week of the month
