SUMMARY:Holding Both: A Care Partner Support Group Series [Rock Row]
DESCRIPTION:Caring for someone with cancer often means two truths live side-by-side: you can feel grateful and sad\, hopeful and scared\, joyful and angry—sometimes in the very same moment.

Each 75-minute session will focus on a core theme—Uncertainty\, Burnout\, Meaning\, Emotions\, Identity\, and more—using open discussion prompts to invite reflection\, shared understanding\, and connection with others who “get it.” \nLed by Erin King\, LCSW\, OSW-C\, CGP \nOpen to all adult Dempsey Center care partner clients. \nNo group Friday\, April 24th.
