Support Groups
Kansas Alzheimer’s Caregiving Support Group Domestic Violence Support Group ·
Support groups may provide information about community resources; down
to earth solutions for daily problems; and a place for members to share their
feelings of helplessness, anger, inadequacy and fatigue in ways that can make
meetings a haven and give participants a healthy sense of solidarity. ·
Meetings may vary from location and days; therefore, these have not
been listed. ·
Usually there are no geographic boundaries. If you
are interested call the telephone number listed or SouthWest Kansas Area
