Our Caregiver Connection Support Group, led by a licensed clinical social worker, provides a safe and compassionate space for individuals caring for loved ones with cancer. This group offers emotional support and shared experiences around managing the physical, mental, and emotional challenges of caregiving.

Participants can connect with others who understand their unique struggles, find strength in community, and gain resources to help navigate their caregiving journey. Whether you’re new to caregiving or have been supporting someone for a while, this group offers a place to share, learn, and heal together.

How does the Monthly Caregiver Connection Support Group differ from the Bi-Monthly Caregiver Support Group? 
Both groups are led by licensed social workers and are designed to support individuals caring for loved ones with cancer. The main difference is the schedule. The Caregiver Connection Support Group meets once a month on the 4th Wednesday from 7-8pm EST, while the caregiver support group meets bi-monthly on the 1st and 3rd Mondays from 6:00-7:30pm EST. The The Caregiver Connection Support Group was created to accommodate the growing number of caregivers and is currently open to new members. In contrast, the caregiver support group is closed to new members at this time. We hope that offering two distinct groups will provide cancer caregivers with more opportunities to find a safe, supportive environment at Smith Center.

Sara’s Monthly Caregiver Connection Support Group meets Monthly on the 4th Wednesday of the month from 7:00 – 8:00pm.
