Being a caregiver is a role filled with compassion, sacrifice, and strength—but it can also come with emotional challenges, especially when family dynamics become difficult to navigate.

Join the Lenawee Department on Aging on Monday, May 5th at 2 PM for a Caregiver Support Group session focused on "Navigating Family Conflicts and Misunderstandings as You Maneuver Your Role as Primary Caregiver." This thoughtful and informative session will be led by Kathy Johnston Betzoldt, M.A., Licensed Professional Counselor, who brings both expertise and empathy to the conversation.

This session will explore:

  • Common sources of tension among family members

  • Communication strategies for difficult conversations

  • Setting healthy boundaries

  • Coping with guilt, blame, and unmet expectations

Whether you’re new to caregiving or have been supporting a loved one for years, this support group offers a safe and welcoming space to connect with others who understand your journey.

Free respite care is available so caregivers can attend without worry. Please call 517-266-2588 to arrange services in advance.

You are not alone—come for support, understanding, and encouragement as we work together to strengthen the caregiving experience.
