Aging Parents Support Group
This group meets as both a support group and an educational forum
and addresses some of the uncertainties faced when dealing with
aging parents. The group meets from 12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m. on the
second Tuesday of each month in the Women's Center Library. It
is highly interactive with a chance for all participants to share
and problem solve together. Guest speakers are invited to present
on a variety of issues affecting elder care.
John Berbeet, Academic and Staff Assistance Program (ASAP) Coordinator facilitates the group. For more information, call the ASAP Office at 893-3318.
