Family peer support group launches September 17

Sep 17, 2024

You are not alone.

The emotional toll of supporting someone with a mental illness or substance use disorder can be significant, and having a peer support group can provide much-needed connection and understanding.

Caregiver Connections is a weekly, virtual peer support group that provides caregivers with a safe and friendly place to connect with others, feel heard and hear from others who understand.

Discussion topics include self-care, boundaries, conflict resolution, communication styles, active listening, the WIN formula, grief, the mental health continuum, and values.

Who Should Attend: Caregiver Connections is appropriate for parents, grandparents, siblings, partners, and children of Nova Scotians living with a mental illness or substance use disorder. *Group members must reside in Nova Scotia and be over the age of 16.

Details:

When: This group meets every Tuesday from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Where: Virtual group via Zoom * * To allow Nova Scotians who reside anywhere in the province, we offer this group via Zoom. The Zoom link will be sent to you upon registration. The group will use the same link each week. Please note: Group meetings are not recorded.* *
