NEW! Caregiver Support Circle

Monday, March 9, at 6 p.m. / Flint Hills Room at Meadowlark, 2121 Meadowlark Rd., Manhattan, Kan.

Hosted by Accord Hospice & Meadowlark Community Programs

Caregiver Support Circle is a group for those who are caring for an adult loved one through any disease process. This group provides a welcoming space to share successes and challenges, problem solve day-to-day caregiving concerns, and connect with others who truly understand the caregiving journey. The focus is on personal, daily caregiving experiences and fosters mutual support, encouragement, and a sense of belonging. 

This group is intended for family and friend caregivers, not professional caregivers. Caregiver Support Circle will meet the second Monday of each month. Questions? Call (785) 323-3899. No registration required.

Men's Cancer Group: March Meeting

Thursday, March 12, at 10:30 a.m. / The Cat Cafe at Sunflower Pet Supply, 3236 Kimball Ave., Manhattan, Kan.

You’re invited to the February meeting of Meadowlark Cancer Program's Men's Cancer Group! This initial gathering is meant to be informal and exploratory. Rather than starting with a set structure, we’ll spend our time getting acquainted and talking about what might work best for this group as it takes shape.

There is no pressure to share personal stories, and no expectation to participate beyond what feels right. During our February meeting, we will continue to exlpore how to create  for connection and learning together, and seeing what feels useful, supportive, and worth continuing.
