What this experience is like in depth

Caregiver Support Group is a community and peer support experience. It is a support group for people in caregiving roles. It works with the understanding that healing is not only about insight but also about what is felt, witnessed, and released in the body, relationships, and environment. In a session, members share the week's realities, receive resources, and hear from others. You will sit, speak, listen. This is offered in a group setting, typically 60 to 90 minutes, and this is a touch-free experience. People often choose this when they are carrying Burnout, Loneliness, and Grief. Over time, this work can become a way of relating to yourself with less fear and more capacity.
