CAREGIVERS ON THE COAST SUPPORT GROUP
Are you a caregiver?
Do you know someone who is? Many caregivers don’t self-identify and miss out on available resources and supports. We can help! Our monthly Caregivers On the Coast Support group meets to learn of local resources and supports and to share caregiver information and tips. Join us to connect and exchange stories with others who know the challenges that come with being on the caregiving path. Led by our volunteer facilitator and Home Healthcare Network experienced caregiver BJ Doyle, Caregivers on the Coast offers the supportive environment needed to help navigate your journey with empathy. No matter who you care for – young, old, or anywhere in between – all are welcome!
