WA State Caregiver Support Group
Meeting Details
Start Time:
WA State Caregiver Support Group
Description
The following session will be focused on the stresses of managing daily-life as a family caregiver. Individuals without a flexible mindset are often resistant to change, believing it to be a strength. Digging deeper, they find that perfectionism contributes to a number of problems, including stress, anxiety, and depression. For those that are family caregivers, such a mindset can be debilitating. Through discussion and practice, the group will explore strategies to manage daily stress and the pitfalls of being a perfectionist as a family caregiver. Opportunities for discussion, personal support, and reflection will be provided.
Washington State Support Groups
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
The Washington State Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Strategic Partnership Advisory Council provides Support Groups through the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) that emphasize connection, education, and engagement in life after sustaining a TBI.
Our Support Groups are predicated on the concept of a person-centered approach that can aid in the development of long-term knowledge and generic problem-solving skills to help attendees overcome barriers to sustaining a fulfilling life.
These Support Groups may provide a therapeutic effect, but they do not provide therapy and instead focus on delivering organized bodies of knowledge and resources for the betterment of attendees.
*Please note, groups with "private" in the title are specifically for groups hosted in facilities and are not open for public entry.
