The group provides an opportunity to be with people who have a common purpose and understand each other. The support group helps people feel less lonely, isolated, or judged, and helps with distress, depression, anxiety, or fatigue. We have a fortnightly Zoom meeting to provide education and prevent feelings of isolation. Additionally, we meet face-to-face once a month to share experiences, encourage self-care, and promote balance in caregiving.
