The ALS Caregivers Support Group of Austin was recently formed to serve those who are taking care of a family member or loved one with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), also known as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease.”
The group, facilitated by a local psychotherapist, works to provide empathic listening, share self-care strategies and resources, and offer mutual support.
The ALS Caregivers Support Group will meet from 12:15 to 2:15 p.m. on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month, at the Yarborough branch (2nd Tues) and the Twin Oaks branch (4th Tues) of the Austin Public Library. Group meetings are free and open to anyone who is caring for family members and loved one with ALS.
