Caring For A Loved One? Enfield Launches Support Group

ENFIELD, CT — Caring for an elderly or disabled loved one can be isolating, and town officials are rolling out a new support option aimed at caregivers who need connection as much as resources.

Enfield Social Services is launching a Caregiver Support Group this spring, offering two weekly session options designed to fit different schedules. The group is intended for residents caring for elderly or disabled adults who may be feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or alone.

The program, branded “Making Connections: Learn, Share, Care,” focuses on peer support, shared experiences, and practical discussion in a confidential, community-based setting.

Two session tracks are being offered:

• Thursdays, April 9 through May 21, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
• Tuesdays, April 14 through May 26, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Participants may choose the schedule that works best for them.

The caregiver group is coordinated through Enfield Social Services in partnership with Enfield Connects. Sessions will be held at 1010 Enfield Street (the Alcorn building).

Registration is required. Interested caregivers can sign up using the QR code on the flyer or by contacting Justin Lopez at (860) 253-6403 for additional information
