Get By with A Little Help From…CSA Support Groups!

The Center for Successful Aging offers 14 groups each month to seniors in our community.  Some groups focus on supporting caregivers specifically and others are general support groups.  All groups are co-led by our trained volunteers, are free and open to any senior, 50 years and older. Support groups are open to anyone caring for a senior.  If you are interested in joining a group, call the Center's Clinical Director, Gary Linker, at 805- 898-8080 to schedule an initial interview.  Here is a sampling of the current groups we provide:
