About this resource
The MI Virtual Caregiver Support Groups flyer brings together, in one place, the schedule of online support groups available to family caregivers across Michigan. Offered through Michigan’s network of Area Agencies on Aging and partner organizations, these virtual groups give caregivers a safe, convenient space to share experiences, ask questions, and find encouragement from others who truly understand the demands of caregiving.
Because the groups meet virtually, they remove some of the biggest barriers caregivers face: transportation, the difficulty of leaving a loved one alone, and the geographic isolation common in rural parts of the state. A caregiver can join from home, often during nap time or after a loved one is settled for the evening, and still gain the benefits of peer support. The combined flyer lists multiple groups — including general caregiver groups and condition-specific groups such as those for dementia or kinship care — along with meeting days, times, and instructions for joining.
This resource matters because caregiver isolation is real and corrosive; regular connection with peers is associated with reduced stress and burnout. The flyer is a simple, practical tool: caregivers can scan it to find a group that fits their schedule and situation, then join online at no cost. For many Michigan families, these virtual groups are the most accessible form of ongoing emotional support available.
