CAregivers REducing Stress (CARES)

This meetup group offers support for unpaid caregivers of older adults. The meetup is a space for caregivers of older adults to share their experiences, exchange information, and develop strategies for reducing caregiver burnout. CARES offers individual and family support in the form of six sessions with a licensed social worker who specializes in family caregiving, stress management, and local Philadelphia resources. These sessions are at no cost and can take place at the CARES office in the Fishtown neighborhood or at a location within the city that is more convenient to the caregiver. Information about the support groups and other event hosted by CARES can be found on their MeetUp page.

The support groups and individual sessions have currently moved online to Zoom. The virtual meetings are accessible using the same links provided in the MeetUp link.
