Support Groups
Many caregivers find it helpful to talk with others who are also caregivers in a group setting. It gives them a chance to vent to people who understand, build relationships with other caregivers and learn about helpful resources. COPSA offers a variety of support groups to meet your specific needs. In addition, the Care2Caregiver staff can help connect you with other groups that work for your schedule and in your area.
