Carer Support Groups
Weekly Zoom meetings with a member of the

Creating a support network.
Discussing difficulties you may be facing, coping strategies, and many other topics.
“I am so thankful for the two weekly carers group zoom meetings hosted by Reminiscence Learning. One is a lighthearted get together where we just have fun to take our minds off any worries for a short time. The second is more serious where we can share things that are troubling us in confidence, in a safe, secure place. We seem to have been in lockdown forever, but these friendly carers group meetings are very special and it is so good to have other people to talk too.”
