Dena Schwimmer's Groups
Grief Group
The challenges of grief can take many forms. Loss and grief changes how we fit in the world, our families, and our sense of self. Inconsistent sleep patterns, changes in appetite, concentration, and even a simple question of how are you doing can trigger unexpected feelings and reactions. Our group can provide a safe place to share your emotions and offer the support you need in the grieving and healing process.
Alzheimer's & Parkinson's Caregiver Support Group
There are many ways to be a caregiver, regrettably most ways result in physical and emotional exhaustion. For professional, family members or dear friends, the world of a caregiver can be a lonely and isolated place, driven by an outpouring of your skills, attention and strength, with very limited reciprocation. Within this collaborative interaction, group members increase awareness about self-compassion and learn mindfulness based self-care strategies that reinforce your fortitude to provide loving care for another. Allow yourself a bit of care. Invest in growing your capacity for restorative practices that allow you to be the best caregiver you can be.
