MoniqueFrahm Support Groups, SUPPORT GROUPS, support groups!! Caregivers can't do it alone. We need to accept that fact, and support groups are an extremely valuable resource. And besides learning a lot from others in the group, we often just need someone to be a "VENT PARTNER", someone who will just listen. They don't need to have an answer, or give advice, they just need to listen and be compassionate as we 'dump' on them. Good caregiver groups are a safe environment where all of this can happen.
