Caregiver Support Group
As part of the Caregiving Welfare Association (CWA) efforts to reach out to family caregivers, we encourage family caregivers to join us at our monthly caregiver support group sessions.
We believe that there are many benefits which caregivers could gain from by participating in such group work. For example, individual gains mutual support from one another, and through the sharing of personal experiences, one could learn how to manage or even overcome such struggles eventually.
- An avenue for caregivers to share information and experiences
- For family caregivers to feel connected with one another and hear how others have coped with similar difficult situations
- To enable family caregivers to express their emotions in a safe haven without the fear of being judged
