Caregiver groups help spouses, friends and family members take time for self-care and access valuable resource information. We provide participants with opportunities to share ideas, joys and struggles in a supportive, non-judgmental atmosphere. Come connect with others who will listen, understand and bring you hope and peace of mind.

Are you concerned about an aging parent? Is your spouse depending on you more and more due to their chronic illness? Have you found yourself caring for an adult child or a grandchild unexpectedly? Caregiver groups provide helpful resource information, understanding and encouragement. Caregiver groups meet to discuss the challenges and pitfalls of caregiving and how we can get out of crisis mode, and begin managing caregiving from an empowered place. Good Shepherd is restarting the Caregiver Support Group for those who have questions, need to talk or have support to offer to others. Coordinated by Catholic Charities, the group meets for an hour and half twice a month and addresses such topics as community resources, managing in home help, self-care, end of life issues and more.
