Friends and family may support you, but a caregiver support group is made up of individuals that are experiencing the same highs, lows, and challenges as you. These are other people that may be suffering from caregiver burnout. Resources like the Family Caregiver Alliance offer online support groups, where you’ll hear stories of people just like you.
AARP also offers information for people seeking online support, as well as information for in-person caregiver support activities in your area. A third option would be contacting your local Office of Aging, where they can provide support through many different resources. Many support groups are geared toward specific issues, such as Alzheimer’s disease, incontinence, cancer, dementia, disabled and more. These groups provide an outlet for caregivers to be open and honest about their experiences.
