We encourage you to join us and share your experience to build a stronger caregiver community.
Gathering the Circle: Monthly at 3:00 PM @ Pigott
Caregiving can feel isolating at times, especially when so much attention focuses on the person with cancer. Our first Caregiver Connections gathering is an opportunity to connect with others who understand this experience and to feel valued for your role. This session will focus on creating a welcoming space, getting to know one another, and hearing what matters most to caregivers. There is no pressure to share. You may listen, reflect, and participate in whatever way feels right for you.
What to Expect: Each Caregiver Connections session offers a supportive space to share, reflect, and connect with others who understand caregiving, helping you feel less alone.
Topics may consist of emotional well-being, communication, self-care, and navigating change. No prior experience is needed. Come as you are.
Who Should Attend: This forum is open to individuals who are currently caring for someone with cancer, as well as those who have supported a loved one in the past. Whether you are actively caregiving or adjusting after that role has changed, your experiences are valid here, and you are welcome to join.
Is This a Support Group? This forum offers a supportive, guided space for conversation and connection. While it is not a formal therapy group, participants are encouraged to share experiences, reflect, and learn from one another in a respectful and welcoming environment.
The forum is facilitated by Kathy Koenig, M.S., NCC, a caregiver support specialist with experience working with individuals and families affected by cancer. Kathy’s approach is grounded in listening, connection, and creating a welcoming space where caregivers can feel comfortable sharing their experiences and learning from one another.
