What Can You Expect?
Support Groups allow caregivers to make new friends, learn they are not alone in the caregiving journey, find a place to tell their story with people who understand and listen without judgment, and share ideas to make things easier or more enjoyable throughout the days of navigating care.
As a group facilitator, LaVon likes to use a mix of warmth, vulnerability, kind honesty about the disease process, audio/visual resources, and humor for more meaningful and memorable conversations.
