CARE Services, the campus staff and faculty assistance program, offers an elder care counselor, Norma Grimm, who has helped people across campus care for their aging family members and other dependent adults. Grimm is available to answer questions, help set priorities, help locate resources and offer support. In its infancy, the web page , which is part of the faculty and staff pages of the University Health Services web site, describes elder care assistance available through CARE and information on the speakers series below. Brown Bag Speaker Series A series of noontime lectures, on two themes, is now underway. The last half hour of each meeting is reserved for discussion.
Lectures are free and no enrollment is required.
Support Groups Ongoing noontime peer support groups are geared to specific needs. For example, one group focuses on those with family members in nursing homes, another is for long-distance caregivers. Call 642-6621 for information on the elder care email digest.
