Curated Resources For OndeCare Families
Here are resources you have asked for or we wish we had ourselves when dealing with the big life challenges associated with caregiving. Caregiving is personal – sometimes we need emotional support from someone who has been through it, sometimes we need an easily accessible support group or virtual meditation class, sometimes we need advice about what to do next or where to go for what, and sometimes we need humor or a flicker of hope. All our resource partners are available for you today, most are free, and all can be explored on your time and on your terms.
Family caregiver support
Courage to Caregivers is an innovative nonprofit with the mission of providing hope, support, and courage to caregivers and loved ones of those living with mental illness. They are in the caregiver burnout prevention business. They offer three (currently virtual) programs at no cost to participants. Programs focus entirely on the caregiver and provide tools to build stronger coping strategies and greater resilience for caregivers.
One-to-One Caregiver Peer Support connects caregivers in need with trained volunteer caregivers offering support.
Support Groups are co-facilitated by a licensed social worker/counselor and a trained peer specialist volunteer who has experience caring for a loved one.
Breathing Meditation classes are led by a certified yoga instructor and allow caregivers to better manage day-to-day and critical stressful situations and improve their health and well-being.
