Event Details
This support group is designed for those who have found themselves in a caregiving role for their parent(s) due to aging, illness, memory loss, or other challenges. If you feel overwhelmed by managing your parents’ needs and your own responsibilities, you’re not alone — and this group is here to support you. This caregiver group will largely consist of those in their 50s, 60s, and 70s who identify as “adult children” and are caring for a “parent” who’s aging. This is an inclusive group — “parent” can mean any aging loved one (ie. aunt, uncle). Erica Greenspan is a clinical social worker and psychotherapist with over a decade of experience supporting older adults and their loved ones. Erica specializes in helping families navigate the challenges of neurocognitive disorders such as dementia, MS, and Parkinson’s disease, as well as acute illnesses like cancer. This program is generously supported by the Frederick H. Bowis Community Fund. The group will meet on: May 13, May 27, June 10, June 24, July 7(Wednesday), July 22, August 5. This is an online class.
