family support group

Just a little time for yourself so you can rest, recharge, and remember that there is life beyond caregiving.  This Support Group is a group of the "Main Caregivers" to help support them emotionally and teach ways of managing this role in a caring but affective manner.  This group meets the 2nd Wednesday monthly @ 2pm at the United Methodist Church in Broken Bow, NE.

* Provide a friendly atmosphere of understanding and support.

* Provide information through speakers or films on a variety of topics.

* Help you deal with the physical and emotional stress of care giving.

* Help you learn how to handle your responsibilities easier with the assistance of professionals 

  and other caregivers.  

* Most caregivers are not trained for the job they do. They suddenly find themselves in care 

  giving situations and do the best they can.

* You are a part of an important resource that is meeting the needs of a growing number of 

  disabled people.

* Families provide nearly 80% of the care required by disabled adults.

* It is important that you care for yourself both physically and mentally.

Custer Care Family Support Group will help you meet these needs.  Adult Day Care will be provided for your loved one if needed.
