Elder Care Support Group

The Elder Care Support Group meets monthly and is for individuals caring for, or anticipating caring for, an elderly relative, parent, or friend. It addresses topics such as:

determining what help is necessary and available resources
coping with feelings of anger, guilt, loss, and sadness
tips for getting elders to accept help they might need and not want
learning to take care of yourself
getting support and coping tips from others who share similar concerns

This support group is also open to family members of FIT employees as we recognize Elder Care issues impact the entire family including siblings, spouses and partners. Please feel free to extend an invitation to those in your circle who might benefit from this program and just remember to let us know who and how many people will be attending.

If you wish to attend, please send an email to [email protected].

If for whatever reason you are unable to attend this group, but have some elder care concerns, please call the EAP office at x7-5600 to schedule an individual appointment.
