Support Groups

Senior Support Groups

We have several senior support groups for those who want to share experiences, get support or seek the guidance of other seniors in pursuing their individual endeavors.

  • Support groups are co-led by trained and supervised volunteer group facilitators

  • Most groups are open to the community (some are held in residential communities)

  • All support groups are free of charge and welcome new participants!

If you are interested in joining one of these groups, please contact us.
