Caregiver Support

Many organizations offer training for caregivers including classes, presentations, informational sessions, or individual trainings. Support groups are also available for caregivers to help them handle stress, develop coping strategies, and share information, ideas, and resources.

Some of the agencies that provide Caregiver Support are Adult Well Being Services, The Information Center, Neighborhood Legal Services of Michigan Elder Law & Advocacy Center, and Wayne Metropolitan Community Action Agency. There is additional information on all of these agencies available on the Take Charge Helpline.
