In the Fall 2011 issue of Cure Magazine, there is some helpful information about how to find a support group for caregivers.
Visit Cancercare.org (800-813-4673) or email info@cancercare.org
Ask a social worker or cancer support person at your local cancer center or nearby hospital.
Call the local chapter of the American Cancer Society.
A nonprofit advocacy organization, called the National Family Caregivers Association (caregiver.org), suggests asking the following questions before attending the first meeting:
The National Alliance for Caregiving has a number of educational programs;
“Family Caregiving: It’s Not All Up to You” is accessible at familycaregiving101.org
“Share the Caring” is available at thefamilycaregiver.org
“Caring for the Caregiver” is offered by the National Cancer Institute (800-422-6237 or cancer.gov)
