Caregivers Support Group

The SLV Caregivers Support Group meets to learn from other caregivers and professionals in the field while providing the opportunity to gain strength and support for the weeks and months ahead. We offer informational programs, peer support, discussions, and community development among the attendees. The group’s needs and interests will determine the programming of speakers.

The realities and challenges of caregiving a family member can be overwhelming, confusing, and often isolating. The VWC is creating this space for people to come together to support and encourage each other and to share and receive helpful information and guidance. A fund provided by the Valley Women’s Club can help defray up to $100 for a Valley family caregiver to take some time off. 

Meetings are on the first Thursday of the month, 2:00–3:30 PM, at the VWC Office at the Highlands Park Senior Center, 8500 Hwy 9, Ben Lomond, CA.

Look for special events on our SLVcaregiver Facebook Page.

After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the SLV Caregiver Support Group, sponsored by The Valley Women’s Club of the San Lorenzo Valley, has resumed in-person meetings. The meetings are open to all persons providing care for a family member or friend afflicted with memory loss, cognitive impairment, and other signs and symptoms of dementia.

The SLV Caregiver Support Group provides informational programs, peer support, discussions, and community development among the attendees. The group’s needs and interests will determine the programming of speakers.
