The Caregivers Connect group is meant to nourish the mind, body & spirit; to bring Caregivers together, acknowledge & celebrate their dedication, selflessness, and the hard work that goes into their role.
Taking place monthly at The 11 Day Power Play Cancer Resource Center, this gathering is an opportunity to connect, receive educational resources and the chance to learn a craft or new skill!
Prepare to be pampered! Books, journals, and self-care items will be provided throughout the year. We will also have teas, cold beverages and healthy snacks from Her Kitchen to enjoy during our gatherings.
For more information, please contact group facilitator Theresa Bonito, at 716-845-1300 ext. 5053 or The 11 Day Power Play Cancer Resource Center at (716)845-8659, Option *1.
