Get the emotional support you need

We have many support groups, at various times and locations. Check to see if there is a group close to you that fits your needs.

Approximately seventy Caregiver Support Groups are currently meeting across the Western Carolina Chapter service area. These groups typically meet monthly and all are coordinated by trained volunteer facilitators. These groups are a lifesaver for many caregivers. A group of understanding friends experiencing similar struggles makes a world of difference to those who face this tremendous stress.
