Being part of a support group is proven to be very empowering for stressed caregivers – positive effects can include increasing emotional support, improving knowledge and reducing isolation. You can find out more about other benefits of joining a support group here.

We're always growing our locally-based kanohi ki te kanohi / face to face support groups, but we know that for many of our caregivers, an online group will be the easiest way to meet with others.

In 2026, our new Navigator in Te Waipounamu, Jacqui Mikkelson, will be leading our lunchtime group. She has a wealth of experience (learn more about Jacqui on this link) and will be a fantastic sounding-board for any queries or difficulties you may be experiencing.

This is our LUNCHTIME online group at 12.30.

You can join the group whenever you like, so sign up now for your Zoom link – you'll then receive email reminders straight to your inbox. We'd love to see you online!

Notes:

• You can cancel your membership at any time by emailing [email protected].

• Membership in the group is on a personal/individual basis – the ZOOM links you are sent for group meetings cannot be shared with other non-members.

• People share personal details and we must respect everyone's privacy at all times. By joining this group, you are agreeing that what happens in our caregiver groups, stays in our caregiver groups.
