Caregiving in Advanced PD: A Tailored Support Group

Participants engage in a secure, confidential environment, sharing caregiving insights and knowledge. Expert-led sessions, lasting 90 minutes, occur biweekly for 16 weeks, held via Zoom and at the University of Calgary's Cumming School of Medicine. These sessions take place twice annually, emphasizing the structured nature of the support group. Weekly themes include self-care, adaptation, coping skills, emotions, anticipatory grief, forgiveness, mindfulness, boundaries, and closure. Care partners actively participate by sharing experiences and asking questions in each session.
