Caring for a loved one is one of the most meaningful things you can do—but it can also be physically, emotionally, and mentally exhausting. Whether you’re caring for an aging parent, a spouse, a friend, or raising a grandchild, you don’t have to do it alone.

The Hub on Smith provides education, resources, encouragement, and practical support to help caregivers care for their loved ones while also caring for themselves.

Caregiver Support Meetings

One of the main benefits of caregiver support groups is that they provide much needed social support. They are a great place to ask for advice, find out about useful resources, or vent frustrations. The Support Center can assist you with finding a support group that meets your needs. Please contact Emily Keith before attending (to ensure availability). 672-2240

There are several other community support groups, such as Al-Anon, Cancer, and Older Relative Caregivers, that are available to join. Call the Support Center at 672-2240 for more information.
