Family & Caregiver Support Group
Family members provide over 75% of caregiving support in the United States.
At Schurig Center, we recognize the enormous pressures and risks of family caregiving—burnout, compromised health, depression and depletion of financial resources. This is a daily reality for millions of American families and it poses a great strain on the caregiver, many of whom are struggling to balance work and family responsibilities. For this reason, we offer the Family & Caregiver Support Group providing a supportive, educational environment to enhance the caregiver’s and the family’s understanding of the cognitive, emotional and life changes resulting from a brain injury.
When: Monthly – 4th Saturday (Check our Calendar for specific dates)
Time: 10:30 am to 12:00 pm
Occasionally the date changes.
