Family Caregiver's Support Group

A family caregiver support group is based on shared experiences, to help you feel less isolated and to have your feelings validated.

Are you caring for an older adult?

Do you sometimes feel frustrated, tired, and alone?

Do you wish you had someone to talk to about your role as a caregiver?

A family caregiver support group is based on shared experiences to help you feel less isolated and validate your feelings. It can provide a safe place to share your true feelings and concerns, provide information about resources, and teach coping strategies. A support group can help you plan, so you don't have to plan during times of crisis.

If you are a caregiver needing to talk to others sharing similar experiences, join us for the Family Caregiver Support Group at the Landon Center on Aging. We meet on the fourth Thursday of every month* at in person and online at 11:00 a.m.

Contact Myra Reed at 913-588-2365 or mhyatt@kumc.edu to register or for more information.

*Alternate dates in November and December due to holidays
