Caring for a loved one with diminishing mental and physical capacities can be an emotional challenge, and sometimes talking with others in the same situation can help relieve the stress and anxiety felt by the caregiver.

That’s why Duet offers several free support groups each month for caregivers, at various locations around the Valley. Upcoming support group meeting in January include:

Caregivers Support Group, 10-11:30 a.m. Wednesdays, Jan. 7 & 21, at the Devonshire Senior Center, 2802 E. Devonshire Ave.
Caregivers Support Group, 12:30-1:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 13, at the Shadow Mountain Senior Center, 3546 E. Sweetwater Ave.
Alzheimers Caregiver Support Group, 12:30-2 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 30, at the Duet offices, 555 W. Glendale Ave.
Parkinsons Caregiver Support Group, 1:30-3 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 14, at the Duet offices, 555 W. Glendale Ave.
