PHILOPTOCHOS CAREGIVER SUPPORT GROUP:
FOR ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN CAREGIVERS NATIONWIDE
- Are you caring for a loved one who is elderly, or has a chronic or life-threatening illness
or health condition, or who is disabled?
- Do you wish you knew others who are facing the same challenges as you?
- Do you wish there was someone to share your thoughts, concerns, and questions and who understands our faith, culture, and community?
- Are you so overwhelmed you’re not even sure what questions to ask or who could help?
If you answered yes to one or more of the above, and would like more information, contact the
PHILOPTOCHOS CAREGIVER SUPPORT GROUP
Facilitated by professionals knowledgeable in caregiving and aging services, we will “meet” over Zoom on six consecutive Tuesday evenings. In a confidential and safe environment, we will discuss best practices to help you manage the physical needs of and cognitive issues faced by your loved one; caregiver stress, guilt, frustration, and exhaustion; importance of self-care; family dynamics/decision-making; long-distance and holiday caregiving; financial concerns; and preparing for the future.
The last session, led by a member of the clergy, will address how faith, culture, and spirituality can help build your understanding, strength, and resilience. Secular and spiritual resources to help caregivers cope will be distributed.
