Facilitators sought
for caregiver support groups Caregivers frequently tell us that support groups make a positive difference in their lives.They say that there is nothing quite like being with peers who are facing the same problems, that they find suggestions for problems they’ve been dealing with and that they benefit from sharing their own ideas and knowledge with others. We are currently seeking volunteers interested in facilitating monthly caregiver support groups in Dutchess, Putnam and Ulster counties. Training and support will be provided by Alzheimer’s Association staff. For more information, please contact Debbie Kagan-Birkeland at 800.272.3900.
