Does anyone in Birmingham, AL know where I can find a caregiver support group?

Is there any such thing as a weekly support group for children caregivers of aging parents? I am 60 years old and find myself in the position of caring for my 85 year old mothers. She is not in good health and is needy. I need some sort of emotional support for this task or else it will drive me crazy. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi jessebelle, I grew up near homewood. Love it there!

Dawson Memorial Baptist Church on Oxmoor Dr in Homewood has a support group meeting one Thursday night a month. I think it is the 3rd Sunday. I thought about attending, but it was at my mother's dinnertime. I don't know why they make the meeting so early.

Alzheimer’s of Central Alabama has a list of support groups for caregivers on their web site:http://www.alzca.org/support.html

Collat Jewish Family Services has an open to the public caregiver support group that meets once a month (third Wednesday of the month I think).

UAB, VA, Brookwood and St. Vincent’s Hospitals all have (or at least used to have) various caregiver support groups depending on the diagnosis of the care receiver.
