Informal Caregiver Groups

Informal caregiver groups are communities of individuals who provide care and support to family members, friends, or neighbors facing health challenges or disabilities. These groups often gather to share experiences, resources, and emotional support, helping each other navigate the responsibilities of caregiving. Unlike professional caregivers, members are usually unpaid and motivated by personal relationships. Such groups can be organized locally or online, fostering a sense of connection, reducing feelings of isolation, and offering practical advice to improve caregiving. They play a vital role in helping caregivers manage stress and maintain their well-being while caring for others.
