The Complete Caregiver Support Guide: A Reproducible Workbook for Groups and Individuals (Spiral) (ISBN-13: 9781570252655)

Family members, and sometimes close friends, are often called upon to act as caregivers to ill or aged people they care about or for whom they are responsible. Although there are many rewarding outcomes of the time spent between the courageous and dedicated caregiver and the care-receiver*, the caregivers are usually unprepared, untrained and unsupported. The caregivers are also often isolated. These factors can put a huge amount of stress on non-professional or family caregivers.

Attending a caregiver support group focusing on specific issues is of great benefit for caregivers. Such groups can include those facilitated by professionals such as social workers, counselors and group facilitators, and those facilitated by lay persons, often themselves caregivers.

The intention of Caregiver Support is to provide content for support group facilitators and caregivers that touches on crucial topics.
