Caring for the Caregiver Webinar Series

The Caring for the Caregiver webinar series brings simple, practical solutions to family caregivers throughout Massachusetts.

Overview

Are you a family caregiver living in Massachusetts? Your support and care may include managing medications, getting to a doctor’s appointment, helping with groceries, or organizing finances. 

Caregiving is a journey. You may just be starting to create a care plan, or already providing full-time care. Either way, caregiving is an emotional and physical time commitment, and the Executive Office of Aging & Independence is here to be your partner in managing any emotional, physical, and/or financial stress that can come from caring for a loved one.  

The Agency partners with the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative to bring you the Caring for the Caregiver webinar series. This virtual series connects family caregivers in Massachusetts with information and resources regarding their caregiver responsibilities, as well as tips to care for themselves. Each webinar focuses on a different aspect of caregiving, such as self-care for caregivers and navigating family dynamics.

Webinar Break Announcement

The Caring for the Caregiver webinar series will pause during the months of July and August. The Executive Office of Aging & Independence is using this time to develop new programming, and we are pleased to share that speakers have been confirmed for September, October, and November, with topics to be announced soon. While the series is on break, we invite you to visit our YouTube channel to view all recorded sessions to date.

For caregivers seeking additional support during this time, the following organizations offer free webinars and educational content developed specifically for family caregivers:

We also want to highlight a Massachusetts resource for family caregivers who may be looking for ongoing support between webinars. The Support Groups for Family Caregivers page on Mass.gov includes a searchable list of free virtual and in-person support groups hosted by Family Caregiver Support Program staff across Massachusetts.

These groups give caregivers an opportunity to connect with others, learn self-care strategies, build caregiving skills, and get information about community resources. Some groups are open to all family caregivers, while others focus on specific caregiving situations, such as grandparents raising grandchildren, adult children caring for parents, bereavement, or caring for someone with memory loss.

Most groups listed below require caregivers register for the support groups in advance. Use the phone number or email address included with each listing to sign up.
