Community Caregiver Groups

Community Caregiver Groups offer caregivers a chance to take a short break from their caregiving role, grab a coffee or some breakfast, and connect with others who can relate to what they're going through. They provide an opportunity to share caregiving experiences and resources in a safe and understanding environment.

Attendance is on a drop-in basis. Caregivers interested in attending are encouraged to contact the ACGA before their first meeting.
