Kickoff Meeting for Caregiver Support Group Set for Sept. 13

Navigating work and personal demands can be more challenging for those caring for a loved one. To support caregivers, the in-house Employee Assistance Program (EAP) offers a Caregiver Support Group designed to provide helpful resources and establish connections among the caregivers within the MCPS community. This group is open to MCPS employees and MCPS retirees, and their adult household members.

The support group meetings are held virtually on the second Wednesday of every other month. Speaker presentations are held virtually on a monthly basis. Speakers present educational topics related to caregiving for a loved one. Group members will also have the option to connect with one another on newly developing communication platforms.

The kickoff meeting will be held from 4:30–5:15 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 13, with EAP specialists Erica Guiton, LCSW-C, CEAP, and Maxine Marshall, LCSW-C. RSVP here.

Join the EAP and the Alzheimer’s Association National Capital Area Chapter for a virtual presentation on the 10 Warning Signs of Alzheimer’s Disease from 5–6 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 27. RSVP here.
