Caregiver Support Groups & Memory Cafes

Caregiver support groups are designed to help caregivers care for themselves through education and empowerment. They offer a safe place for caregivers to learn from one another by sharing experiences, challenges, coping strategies, and humor.

Groups are facilitated by professional social workers and open to those caring for an older adult or someone with a cognitive diagnosis; the caregiver or care receiver must reside in our service area which includes Carver, Hennepin, Scott, Sherburne, and Wright Counties.

When: Dates and times vary by location.

Where: Groups are held in various locations across Carver, Hennepin, Scott, Sherburne, and Wright Counties.

Cost: Currently, there is no cost to attend; groups are supported, in part, by Hennepin County, municipalities, Title III grants from Trellis & CMCOA, and a Live Well at Home Grant from the Minnesota Department of Human Services. SCS also welcomes individual donations to help fund caregiver support groups and related caregiver services.
