WellWise Workshops and Support Groups

WellWise Services offers a calendar of workshops and support groups that help caregivers and older adults build skills, manage health conditions, and find peer connection. As a regional aging-services organization in south-central Michigan, WellWise brings evidence-based programs and supportive community together in one place.

Its offerings span both education and support. On the workshop side, WellWise delivers nationally recognized, evidence-based programs such as Powerful Tools for Caregivers, the Dementia Caregiver Series, A Matter of Balance for fall prevention, and the PATH self-management workshops for chronic conditions like chronic pain, diabetes, and cancer. On the support side, it hosts caregiver support groups that give families a regular space to share experiences and encouragement. Together, these address the practical, physical, and emotional dimensions of caregiving and aging, and many are offered at low or no cost.

This resource matters because caregivers and older adults benefit most when education and peer support are available together, and WellWise’s combined calendar makes it easy to find both. Skill-building workshops reduce stress and improve care, while support groups counter isolation — a powerful combination for sustainable caregiving. For families in WellWise’s service area seeking to learn and connect, the workshops-and-support-groups calendar is an excellent starting point.
