SUMMARY:CAREGIVER SUPPORT GROUPS
DESCRIPTION:Without support\, caregiving can be difficult and isolating. Gain insights and encouragement from others with one of these monthly Caregiver Support Groups at VINE. \nVINE is supporting a growing number of caregivers. Since all groups are limited to 10 participants\, we invite you to select one support group each month. Pre-registration is required. Call (507) 387-1666 or email vine@vinevolunteers.org. \nIf you can’t attend a support group for which you’ve registered\, please call to cancel as no-shows prevent other caregivers from getting the support they need. \nShould you need more support in a given month\, we encourage you to request Caregiver Consulting. Thank you. \nMankato Support Groups \nVINE Adult Community Center \n1st Tuesday of the month\nMarch 3\, 10 – 11 am \n2nd Wednesday of the month\nMarch 11\, 1 – 2:30 pm \n3rd Wednesday of the month\nMarch 18\, 5:15 – 6:30 pm \n3rd Thursday of the month\nMarch 19\, 3 – 4 pm
