Fountain Hills Caregivers Support Group next meets Monday, June 3.

The meeting starts at 11 a.m. in the Town of Fountain Hills Community Center.

At the meeting, caregivers will engage in an open discussion, a face-to-face forum, about various caregiving matters which are of concern to them.

The open discussion format allows caregivers to talk about any concerns they may have, a press release said. It can cover a broad range of issues including how to manage the effects of caregiving on the caregiver’s personal health as well as contending with the emotional strain and drain of caring for a family member while coping with life’s everyday concerns.

Attendees are invited to bring their own caregiving materials to the meeting. These include resources they may have collected such as books, articles, pamphlets and websites.

This sharing of information allows for the exchange of thoughts and ideas about possible solutions to particular caregiving concerns.

For more information, contact Jim Judge at 480-209-8755, Bill Whittaker at 480-837-7961 or Kathleen Blair at 480-588-8200.

Open to all caregivers regardless of age, affliction or disease or place of residence, the Fountain Hills Caregivers Support Group offers a responsive environment where caregivers may discover they are neither unique in their situation nor alone in their feelings and experiences.

It allows caregivers to exchange ideas and information, find solutions to similar problems and suggest discussion topics for future meetings.

It is also an opportunity for caregivers to develop informal networks and peer groups for extended support
