Are you a "caregiver"? Many people are, but don’t realize it.
Do you provide help to a family member, a loved one or a friend? To someone who is older, younger, or disabled and who needs help with the usual activities of living safely?
 | Support groups can provide opportunities to share experiences with other caregivers. You may get education and information on resources that you and your care receiver may use. You may join for one group, or multiple groups. It's up to you. |
The Village Common Caregiver Support Circles will be virtual, online (ZOOM) and open to everyone!
The groups will be facilitated by retired professional Village Common volunteers.
All you need is an email address and digital equipment (computer, tablet or smartphone) |  |
If you want to join, but don’t have digital equipment, the Common can provide a limited number of iPads and training by volunteers. Call 401-228-8683 for more information.
There are multiple on-line groups starting. Please feel free to register, and to try one out. Remember, you can ask for digital help from one of our personal trainers with an iPad, a computer, or a smartphone.
