The Caregivers Connection Support Group has a positive effect on caregivers.  Presented with resources, knowledge, and social support, this group can help reduce the depression, anxiety and stress often associated with being a caregiver.  Even if you have a large family and your own strong social network, it can be difficult to share your experiences and gain insight from even the most well meaning friends and relatives.  Joining a support group offers many advantages and provides you with the freedom and anonymity necessary to adequately voice your feelings and concerns without fear of judgment.
