Caregiver Support Groups
Licensed Social Workers from Jewish Family Services (JFS) lead these groups and offer understanding, a safe place to vent, and helpful advice about services that can help you provide the best care for your loved one. The groups are free and open to the public due to funding by the Ulster County Office for the Aging and JFS. For information and registration, call (845) 338-2980.
Each group will be conducted by telephone or Zoom. The Group Leader will provide you with the number or link once you have signed up for a meeting.
