SUMMARY:ALS Caregivers Support Group
DESCRIPTION:The Caregivers Only group offers a time to talk about all the issues caregivers face in a non-judgmental\, accepting atmosphere without their loved one\, who is living with ALS\, being present. Caregivers share a common experience; life has become so tumultuous that they often feel exhausted and overwhelmed\, hungry for emotional comfort. Together\, with the guidance and encouragement of a devoted facilitator\, caregivers can find the strength to persevere. And by feeling heard and understood\, caregivers become more equipped to face another day with new coping strategies. \nTime: Meets the Third Thursday of each month from 3:30-4:30 \nFacilitator: Anne Lidsky\, PhD \nRegister here \n*Meetings will be held over Zoom and a Zoom invitation will be sent via email once you register for the group.*

SUMMARY:ALS Caregivers Support Group
DESCRIPTION:The Caregivers Only group offers a time to talk about all the issues caregivers face in a non-judgmental\, accepting atmosphere without their loved one\, who is living with ALS\, being present.

Together\, with the guidance and encouragement of a devoted facilitator\, caregivers can find the strength to persevere. And by feeling heard and understood\, caregivers become more equipped to face another day with new coping strategies. \nTime: Meets the Third Monday of each month from 3:30-4:30 \nFacilitator: Anne Lidsky\, PhD \nRegister here \n*Meetings will be held over Zoom and a Zoom invitation will be sent via email once you register for the group.*
