Peer Facilitation: You Matter Too! Strengthen Your Social Support (Online)

Caring for someone can be incredibly meaningful — sometimes even one of the most rewarding roles we take on. It can strengthen our bond with the person we support and remind us of what truly matters. But as life shifts and responsibilities grow, it’s also easy to lose touch with our own social circles and begin to feel isolated.

Staying socially connected isn’t just about having people around — it’s about building relationships that feel genuine, supportive, and energizing. It means belonging to a community, sharing experiences, being exposed to new ideas, expanding your worldview, and having people you can rely on.

In this session, we’ll explore why social connection is so essential, especially for caregivers. Together, we’ll talk about managing feelings like guilt, fear, and anxiety, and we’ll share practical ways to strengthen and expand your support network. We’ll look at how to build your own care team and create a personalized social connections plan that truly fits your life.

By the end, we won’t just talk about the plan — we’ll commit to putting it into action.
