Discussion group
If you provide care to a family member and would appreciate
mutual sharing from other people just like you, you are invited to
a facilitated conversation with Shemaya Blauer, Licensed Clinical
Social Worker. Shemaya brings her innovative skills to caregivers
who have responsibility for a spouse or family member. A safe
place to share and where confidentiality is maintained. We know
caregiving responsibilities don’t stop once a loved one is placed,
so all family caregivers are welcome whether their loved one is in
home or not. No cost and no registration required to participate.
Upcoming dates; February 27, March 27 and April 24.
“I don’t feel like I am alone any more. I have searched all over
