Join our partner, The HeartLight Center in a virtual grief session for caregivers

HLC Caregiver Connect: New studies show that nearly HALF of family caregivers report intense loneliness or isolation. Isolation makes the other sorrows of caregiving — stress, guilt, resentment, anxiety, money worries — harder to bear. Studies also show that talking to others who get it may help to lighten this load.

Join us, virtually, on June 5th for Family Caregiver Support Circle. More info and registration https://heartlightcenter.org/events/caregiver-support-virtual-june2025/
