Family Support of Individuals with Disabilities
A support group will be therapeutic, but is not therapy. The primary value of this support group is to provide a place where caregivers can give voice to stressful experiences, strong feelings and personal frustrations in the company of others who, ideally give a verbal or head nod agreement with the issue rather than criticism or value-laden responses that only make these difficult feelings intensify. In short, a caregiver support group should provide authentic, empathic understanding. Although, I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist, my role is to facilitator the group, not be a therapist. My role is to facilitate the discussions in the group.

This is a small group of women that meet to read and discuss books based on a topic or an agreed-upon reading.
