Caregivers

Whatever your age, you are a caregiver if you provide care that helps a person who is frail, elderly or disabled. 

The Caregiver Support Group at St. Andrew and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton is co-sponsored by Catholic Social Service of Southwest Ohio. Caregivers meet the first Tuesday of the month, 7 – 8:30 p.m. in the Church basement. Anyone from the community is welcome to attend. The purpose of the meetings and the group is:

• To help caregivers learn to take care of themselves and to know that they are not alone.
  
• Provide opportunities to express feelings in a supportive, non-threatening and non-judgmental atmosphere.
  
• Provide understanding of normal aging as well as abnormal changes that need attention.
  
• Share what works and what doesn’t work in care giving.
  
• Improve the quality of relationships of caregivers and care-receivers.
  
• Provide timely, practical education on the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of care giving.
