AAA7 Offers Telephone Support Group For Caregivers

Caregivers are a vital part of the healthcare system – they provide loving and essential care to their family or loved one.

As part of their role, it is important for caregivers to have a resource to reach out if they need help and support. Through the Area Agency on Aging District 7 (AAA7), a Caregiver Telephone Support Group is available for the ten core counties the Agency serves which include Adams, Brown, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Scioto and Vinton.

The next call will take place on Thursday, September 16th from 1:30pm– 2:30pm. All family caregivers are welcome and invited to participate. Each month, the group offers caregivers time to gain and give support with other caregivers and resources, and educational topics related to caregiving. The monthly telephone support group is facilitated by staff with the Caregiver Support Program at the AAA7.

The telephone option provides caregivers with the opportunity to learn and gain support from each other without leaving their homes.
