\"\"If you\u2019ve talked to your doctor about your role as a family caregiver to an older adult, they may have suggested to you that you join a caregiver support group. There are all kinds of caregiver support groups. Some of them are specific to the condition of the person the caregiver is caring for. Others are organized around the relationship between the caregiver and the person receiving care, such as people who are caregivers to a spouse or a parent. There are also online caregiver support groups, those that meet in person, ones that are led by trained facilitators, and ones that are peer led. Regardless of the kind of caregiver support group that works best for you, you\u2019re sure to experience many benefits, like the 4 described below.<\/p>\n

#1: Emotional Expression<\/strong><\/p>\n

Caregiver support groups are a place where you can talk about how being a caregiver makes you feel. All the emotions. The good ones and the ones you\u2019re not so sure are okay. You\u2019ll discover that no matter what you are feeling, someone else has felt the same way. All your emotions are normal. Your feelings won\u2019t be judged because support groups are safe places.<\/p>\n

#2: Learn Caregiver Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n

People who attend caregiver support groups are from all levels of experience. Some of them will have been caregivers for longer than you, so they might have some tips to share that solve a problem you\u2019re experiencing. If you attend a caregiver group that is specific to your aging relative\u2019s condition, you may also learn more about the condition itself.<\/p>\n

#3: Make Friends<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lots of people meet new friends in a support group. They discover they have a lot in common with the people in the group and end up socializing with them outside the group meetings. It\u2019s great to have a friend who can relate to what you\u2019re going through. In addition, when you make more friends, you increase your support system and may even be able to do favors for one another, like stopping at the grocery store or looking after the other person\u2019s care recipient for an hour or two.<\/p>\n

#4: Coping Skills<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hearing from others about how they deal with their experience as a caregiver can help you to build your own coping skills. For example, another support group member might share a stress relief technique they use. You might also discover new ways to keep your cool and avoid lashing out in frustration at the older adult or another family caregiver for your aging relative.<\/p>\n
