How We Help Caregivers

CREST Caregiver Support Group

REACH runs a Caregiver Support Group for caregivers of persons with dementia. The Caregiver Support Group aims to support caregivers by providing them with a safe place:

To build confidence
To find support from other caregivers
To learn coping strategies
To acquire knowledge and skills to manage better

The caregiver support group runs on Friday afternoons once every 2 months. The sessions are conducted in English and complementary elder sitting may be arranged where needed.
