Mountain Caregiver Resource Center provides monthly meetings in a supportive atmosphere to share experiences and ideas to ease the stress of caregiving.
A degenerative or terminal illness, or an accident involving a family member, is a traumatic experience for spouse, parents, children and other relatives. Support groups allow those facing the difficult task of daily caregiving to benefit from interaction and support from other people in similar situations.
A support group may work towards mutual problem-solving, coping, dealing with grief and sharing information. Some communities have a network of established support groups; others may have few or none. The following support group lists will assist family members or caregivers interested in attending a support group.
Support Group Lists:
Butte, Glenn, and Tehama
Lassen, Modoc, and Plumas
Siskiyou. Shasta, and Trinity
