Caregiver support groups available
“Caregiver support groups are open to the public at no cost and with no attendance requirement,” noted Georgia Mabe, Sunny Day director. “Support groups are extended to any adult who is caring for another adult.”
Support is offered through the simple act of sharing strength, hope and experience with other caregivers.
Two support groups are now available at the Senior Center and will provide professionals for guidance and education. Those caregivers interested in participating should call 473-6559 for reservations.
Sunny Day Caregivers Support Group meets the second Tuesday of every month at 5 p.m. at the Senior Center. Look in the newspaper for the topic and selected professional or call for more information.
Lashun Burks, provider relations manager with Hospice South in Tullahoma, will be the guest speaker for the Feb. 8 session. The main topic will be Aging Process, Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease.
Mike Palk, licensed professional counselor, will be present for the Senior Life Phase Caregiver Support Group that meets the fourth Thursday of each month at 10:30 a.m. at the Senior Center.
