SAGE CenLa To Offer Caregiver's Support Group: SAGECAP

SAGE CenLa will begin offering a support group for caregivers. The group will meet on the last Tuesday of every month from 3:00pm to 4:00pm, beginning October 26 at the Martin Branch of the Rapides Parish Library in downtown Pineville. The library's address is 801 W. Shamrock Street, Pineville, La. (one block off of Main St.).

Our Miss Brooks will be presenting a four-part series of talks titled "Caregivers: Continuing the Tradition." She has told us that the first installment will discuss the need for specialized care within the LGBT community.

"Only by increasing our awareness of the unique issues facing LGBT caregivers...can we become effective change agents, ensuring an LGBT identity no longer automatically places them at risk of receiving incompetent, ineffective, or inappropriate services."
