Thanks to a generous grant from Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust, Duet has created the “I am a Family Caregiver” traveling photo exhibit. The traveling photo exhibit will help family caregivers “see” themselves as caregivers. The exhibit includes 16 beautiful photographs of loving and dedicated family caregivers who have found help and support through Duet. The exhibit can be displayed in its entirety, or the venue may select specific images. Each photo has a brief story attached to assist viewers in recognizing themselves as family caregivers, and to help increase community awareness about family caregiving and the need for support.

“I am a Family Caregiver” Traveling Photo Exhibit will be on display at North Phoenix Baptist Church from Sept. 13 to October 10, 2019.

Support groups give you an opportunity to be in a caring and understanding setting with others who are in similar situations. Ask questions and get answers from people who have “been there,” learn creative and caring problem-solving techniques and caregiving ideas. Discover that you are not alone in the way you feel. Support groups are open to all family caregivers of loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia.
