Caregivers Support Group

We are offering a caregivers’ support group for those who are facing the challenges of caring for loved ones with chronic or terminal illnesses, including, but not exclusive to, Alzheimer’s, Dementia, and Parkinson’s.

• Purpose: The support group aims to provide education, support, and encouragement to caregivers who often face significant challenges in their roles.
• Scope: It will focus on caregivers for individuals living with chronic or terminal diseases, Alzheimer’s, or dementia.
• Format: The support group will meet weekly on Tuesdays for 7 weeks from 2:30-4pm. It will be available online from 10:30am-12noon and in-person from 2:30-4pm, accommodating various preferences and needs. THIS REGISTRATION IS FOR THE IN-PERSON MEETINGS.
• Content: The sessions will cover topics such as sharing compassion, building camaraderie, exchanging best practices, and offering practical suggestions for daily living and caregiving.
• Environment: The support group aims to provide a safe and supportive environment where caregivers can freely express themselves, receive support, and find solace in knowing they are not alone in their journey.
• Facilitator: Pastor Kim McGarr will facilitate the support group, ensuring that participants receive guidance, understanding, and spiritual support throughout the sessions.

Overall, this initiative demonstrates Mt. Bethel’s commitment to care for the caregivers and recognize the importance of their well-being as they fulfill their vital roles in supporting their loved ones.
