Whether one is caring for a parent in their own home or overseeing their care in a residential community, many adults feel overwhelmed and stressed with the responsibilities of caring for their families, their parent, and accomplishing their own daily tasks.

Based on requests from the community, Scarsdale Edgemont Family Counseling
Service (SFCS) recently created a new support group for caregivers to older adults. Meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month from 11:30-12:30 PM and we will meet monthly in room 303 of The Harwood Building. The cost is $125 for ten monthly meetings facilitated by a social worker. Contact Susan Gilbert if you would like to attend.
