Taking care of a partner or spouse can be a full time job. \u00a0It is sometimes difficult to also focus\u00a0on taking care of yourself. Caregiving can be very isolating and being an active member of a support group provides an opportunity to socialize with others who are dealing with the same problems that you are and who understand your frustrations and challenges.<\/p>\n<h3>Our Support Group<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-size: 15px;\">The Roanoke Parkinson&#8217;s Caregivers group meets monthly to discuss issues about caregiving, to share resources and information, and to offer empathy and support to our members. \u00a0At this time the group is open only to caregivers who are supporting someone with Parkinson\u2019s disease or one of the Parkinson\u2019s Plus syndromes. We are fortunate at this time to have a professional facilitator moderate our discussions, guide the meeting, and keep us on task.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 15px;\">Please use the \u201cContact Us\u201d page for further information.<\/p>\n<h3>Meeting Details<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 1em; font-size: 15px;\">Meeting date: Second\u00a0Friday of each month<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 1em; font-size: 15px;\">Time: 10:00 to 11:30 am<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 1em; font-size: 15px;\">Location: Colonial Avenue Baptist Church: 4165 Colonial Avenue, Roanoke, VA 24018 (located at the corner of Hwy 419 and Colonial Avenue)<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 1em; font-size: 15px;\">BYOC (bring your own coffee!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&lt;\/<!--more--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Caregiving Challenges One of the most important things that caregivers can do is to take care of their physical and emotional health. \u00a0That is the reason that this caregivers support group was started.
