Both groups are held from 1 - 2 p.m. at LIAF's new headquarters: 1025 Old Country Rd in Westbury (parking and entrance on State St). The support groups are facilitated by Master's level, licensed social workers and provide participants with education, coping strategies and community resources to assist them in being more comfortable and effective in their caregiving role.
