Caregiver Support
Are you helping an older relative or friend who has a vision problem?
And do you sometimes feel stressed or down?
You're not alone! And you may be eligible to participate in a free Lighthouse International telephone support group for people helping someone age 65+ who is visually impaired.
Led by a Masters-level counselor, this support group will "meet " over the phone every two weeks for 9 one-hour sessions.
You will have the opportunity to:
share your concerns and issues in the convenience of your own home
learn practical tips for dealing with stressful situations
learn how to improve communication, so you can better help your relative or friend
have a private, one-hour session with the counselor to discuss personal issues
Interested in participating?
