Family Caregiver Support Group: Embracing the Journey Together

At Contemplative Caregiver, we provide a nurturing environment for family caregivers. This group is a source of strength, offering guidance, understanding, and the comfort of a community that truly gets the highs and lows of caring for a loved one.

Who It’s For:

Our doors are open to family caregivers of any age, background, or experience level. Whether you’re caring for a parent, spouse, or other family member, you don’t need any prior therapy experience to benefit from our group.

Our Focus:

Each week, we delve into themes that resonate with the caregiver’s experience:

  • Stress & Symptom Management: Learn to manage the stress that naturally comes with caregiving.
  • Mindfulness & Emotional Coping: Develop strategies for dealing with difficult emotions and maintaining emotional balance.
  • Life Balance: Find ways to balance caregiving with personal life, ensuring you don’t lose sight of your own needs.
  • Create Hope: Discuss ways to create hope in personal life, honor your pain points, and preparing for next stages of your caregiving journey.

Session Dynamics:

Our group meets weekly for 90 minutes over a four-week period, via discord platform for your convenience. Here’s what you can expect in a typical session:

  • Check-Ins: A time to share updates and express how you’re feeling.
  • Mindfulness Exercises: Activities like guided meditation to center and calm the mind.
  • Themed Discussions: Facilitated by our therapists, these discussions allow you to share and gain insights from others’ experiences.
  • Clinical Interventions: We use approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy and emotion-focused therapy to help you navigate caregiving challenges.

Themes We Explore:

  • Grief and Loss: Understanding and processing the complex emotions associated with caregiving.
