Jewish Family Service (JFS) and The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center of Colorado (The Center) recently announced a new caregiver education and support group for members of the GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender) community. The ongoing group will be held the first and third Thursday of every month from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the Sixth Avenue United Church, 3250 East Sixth Avenue in Denver. The group is open to members of the GLBT community who are in a caregiver role. The support group is free of charge and donations are welcome.The caregiver group is facilitated by Jennie Creasey, LCSW and Dee Trasen, LCSW from JFS, and Shari Wilkins, a caregiver and member of the GLBT community. “Caring for someone is challenging in the best of situations, let alone in difficult situations,” says Jennie Creasey. “It is important to receive support from people who know what you are going through in your unique situation and want to help.”
“The content presented and discussed will come out of the unique concerns of the group,” says Hope Wisneski, LCSW, deputy executive director of The Center. “Participants can expect an environment of support, sharing, networking, education, and resources.”
