Support Groups

We all like to be independent. But sharing common challenges and solutions can provide comfort, camaraderie, and better ways to meet the world. Don’t go it alone; find support from people who are in your situation.

Support

It’s not always easy being the one people rely on for help. Join others who understand. Share the challenges, experiences and solutions related to caring for loved ones who are ill in a friendly, welcoming forum. Both men and women are encouraged to participate. For more information and referrals, call (310) 374-3426 and press option 1 (Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.).
