Caregiver Support Group

It’s really hard providing long-term health care for loved ones, and we want to be here to support you. We currently have two caregiver support groups – a general caregiver group (online option) and a group more specific to those caring for loved ones experiencing dementia (in person only). Please refer to the information below for how to gain access to those meetings.

For All Caregivers

2nd Tuesdays, 2-3:30 pm: Join us in person at our Leawood location in Room B153 or online through Zoom – we are offering a hybrid class, having some folks join in person and some join online. This group is led by Reverend Emily Stirewalt and is a general caregiver support group which includes faith-based resources for support, prayer, and a brief devotional.

For information about these meetings, please email Emily Stirewalt at or call her at 913-232-4126.

For Caregivers of Those with Early-Stage Dementia

2nd Tuesdays, 2-3:30 pm: Meets at the Leawood location in Room B152. This is a dementia specific caregiver support group for those care partners with a loved one in the early stages of dementia. This class is led by Amy Yeager, LMSW KU ADC, from KU Alzheimer’s Disease Center. A coordinating support group for those experiencing mild cognitive impairment or early-stage Alzheimer’s or Dementia meets at the same time. Learn more about that support group here.

For more information about these meetings, please call Amy Yeager at (913) 945-7663.
