Every year, LifeStream hosts special events during the month of November to celebrate National Family Caregiver Month. Previous events have provided an activity, dessert and wine, and information on community resources for caregivers. Check back closer to November for details on this year’s event!
LifeStream Services partners with the Alzheimer’s Association Greater Indiana Chapter and Dementia Friends Indiana to offer a virtual Dementia Caregiver Support Group.
PASTA is an educational and support group for adults doing kinship care, such as grandparents raising grandchildren or an aunt raising a niece or nephew. Being a primary caregiver for grandchildren and/or other children can be both a blessing and a challenge. The expectations of providing care for children, especially when older, can be overwhelming and exhausting, PASTA provides an ideal opportunity for older caregivers to receive assuring, personal support specific for their circumstances. If you are interested in hosting PASTA or finding a PASTA program near you, please contact Angie Jenkins, Outreach Coordinator, at 765-759-1121 or email ajenkins@lifestreaminc.org.
