In Family Caregiver
Support groups,
caregivers meet to
provide mutual help
and support,
to share coping
strategies, and to
feel more empowered
by the sense of
community.
The support group is
a place
wherecaregivers can
relate their own
experiences and
difficulties
of caring for their
family member;
They can listen to
and accept other's
experiences and
difficulties,
and provide
sympathetic
understanding.
It becomes, in some
instances, the only
opportunity the
caregiver has to
socialize.
