The St. Joseph Caregiver Group helps caregivers care for themselves and access valuable resource information. The group provides caregivers with opportunities to talk about their struggles in a non-threatening, and non-judgmental atmosphere. Caregivers learn that they are not alone and in this group they share techniques for handling the stress of caring for someone with special health or behavior needs. Set aside some time this year to make caring for yourself a priority. Come to the caregiver meeting this month and talk with others about how to care for yourself as you manage care for your loved ones.
Who should come?
- An adult child who is concerned about an aging parent.
- A grandparent caring for grandchildren
- A friend who feels responsible for checking on an ailing individual who may have no family
- An aunt or uncle caring for nieces and nephews
- Anyone caring for a child with special needs
- A sibling who visits a brother or sister on a regular basis
- Anyone who feels responsible for the care and welfare of another individual
The group at St. Joseph meets on the second Thursday of the month at 3:00 pm in the Fellowship Room, or as otherwise announced. Please call the Caregiver CAREline at (513) 869-4483 or visit www.ccswoh.org/caregivers for more information.
