This program welcomes caregivers into a warm, supportive space where they can connect with others and feel less alone. Through gentle, guided conversation, participants will have the opportunity to share experiences and reflect in a trauma-informed setting. The library will also highlight materials and resources that support the social, emotional, and information needs of caregivers. Caregivers are encouraged to explore these free, reliable resources at their own pace. The program aims to help participants identify sources of ongoing support that extend beyond the session itself.
