Illuminating Lives| Outreach Initiatives

The day seems to fly if you are caring for a loved one & all their daily needs! As a family caregiver, self care is often totally neglected. This can lead to burnout, depression, anger, feeling stressed and exhausted.

Illuminating lives is a monthly support group for family caregivers taking care of patients with long term illnesses.

We come together, to share feelings, open up, learn about self-care through various creative therapies and thus empower ourselves to lead better lives. So, take a brave first step now towards self care!
