Caregiver Support Group

A cancer caregiver spends their days preparing meals, cleaning, providing transportation, talking to health care providers, administering medication, and making sure their loved one gets everything they need. Cancer caregivers find the time to do it all…everything but take care of themselves.

The impact of providing care on cancer caregivers is physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial. It is imperative that the caregiver take care of his or herself. This is a tall order and often gets ignored as the cancer patient’s needs are put first.

The Caregiver Support Group addresses the importance of caring for yourself first, so you are able to then care for your loved one. Giving and caring can be an honor and a privilege when a loved one is battling cancer; and it can be a hardship and a burden when it gets long and tedious. This group allows the caregiver to be honest with his/her feelings and strategies on ways to be supportive while taking care of your own needs.
