Caregiving for a loved one can sometimes overload one’s personal resources of patience and fortitude. November is designated National Family Caregivers Month to help recognize the importance of caregivers themselves and for them to take time out to care for themselves when possible. The Good Stuff Foundation of Greenville will conduct sessions for relaxation and stress-reduction techniques involving deep breathing, self-massage, and the power of sound. Additional activities may include a craft and nature walk.

We are an independent, private, nonprofit corporation that plans and funds services for older persons in Champaign, Clark, Darke, Greene, Logan, Miami, Montgomery, Preble, and Shelby counties.
