Walking Together: Caregiver Support Group

If you feel anxious and overwhelmed by your caregiving responsibilities, you're not the only one. Every caregiver faces challenges on their caregiving journey. It's normal, and you don't have to face it alone.

Join our caregiver walking group aimed at increasing mental and physical wellness and connecting essential caregivers and persons of importance within The Pine's community to one another. Walking together allows caregivers the opportunity to speak directly with another caregiver, share experiences, challenges, and successes, provide, and receive emotional support, and navigate this journey, together. Thereafter, creating a sense of community through shared lived experiences.
