Caregiver Workshops

Virtual & In-Person

There is a wide gap between our medical systems—emergency, VA, Medicare, doctors—and the day-to-day reality of caregiving for the chronically ill or those facing long-term and progressive diagnoses like ALS or Alzheimer’s. Our Certified Caregiver Coaches can help.

Caregiver Support Groups

Caregivers walk away from our support groups, training, and presentations feeling encouraged and equipped.

What to expect from Makers of Care Support Groups:

  • Faith-based Support Groups (Virtual & In-Person)
  • Belonging, Comfort, and Hope in a Community Who “Gets It”
  • Validation of the Reality of Suffering (without judgment or unwanted advice)
  • Strategies and Resources for the Unique Experiences of Caregivers
