About this meeting
We’ve created this official AARP group for men who are caregiving for family or friends to connect with other male family caregivers. You'll have the opportunity to share practical tips, receive and give support, and discuss your family caregiving experiences. (Please note: this group is for those who are caring for family and friends, not for those who are professional caregivers.)
Our support group meetings are confidential and led by trained facilitators who offer caregiving education, support and understanding for participants. Our meetings include time for meaningful peer-to-peer sharing and support.
The recording of support group sessions is strictly prohibited.
Please note, one of the support group rules is that you keep your video on during the session. People feel more secure in sharing if they can see one another. To promote safety in the session, this expectation is mandatory UNLESS unusual circumstances exist. If they do, the entire group must agree to let you participate without video. If consensus is not reached, we ask you to kindly return to a session at a time when video participation is possible. Thank you.
