Kinship Connections: Caregiver Support

East Hill Inner Wellness will host Kinship Connections from 5 pm – 6 pm on the 3^rd Monday of each month starting January 15. This support group will be held at East Hill Medical Center, 144 Genesee Street, 2^nd Floor. There is no cost to participate and childcare is available with advanced notice by calling 315-253-8477 Prompt 6. More and more, non-parental caregivers are serving as surrogate parents for children other than their own, usually in response to family crises and other social issues. Raising a child unexpectedly impacts every aspect of a caregiver’s life. As a result, non-parental caregivers face many challenges. This group is designed to support the physical and mental health of non-parental caregivers through education, development of coping strategies, peer support and connection, addressing caregiver fatigue, and helping to access resources and services.
