| Caring for a relative or friend may be something you never expected. It may happen slowly or suddenly. Regardless of your age, you are a caregiver if you provide routine assistance to a loved one who is frail, elderly, or disabled. Family and volunteer caregivers provide 85% of all home care in this country. While it can be a rewarding experience and a labor of love, it can also be physically and emotionally demanding. It’s okay to ask for help. There are ways to provide good care for your loved one or family member without doing everything yourself. You are not alone. A support group will allow you to receive encouragement, share insights and understanding with other caregivers. Macalester-Groveland Support Group meets regularly at two different times: 2nd & 4th Thursdays of the month 4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. Plymouth Room; Macalester Plymouth United Church 1678 Lincoln Ave. St. Paul, MN 55105 2nd & 4th Tuesdays of the month 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. Living Room; Macalester College Alumni House 1644 Summit Ave. St. Paul, MN 55105 Both sessions are facilitated by John Manz, LIC.S.W., M.DIV. Come as often as you can. No reservations required. No fee. Caring for a loved one is so important. Taking care of yourself will help you provide better care. You can’t take care of some one else if you first don’t take care of yourself. We want to help support the people providing care so that their loved ones can remain at home or in the community for as long as possible. Call or email if you have questions. (651) 696-6882 | ||
