Online groups provide many of the same benefits as traditional support groups. They are particularly beneficial to those who are largely homebound or who live in a rural community, and those who might otherwise feel isolated and alone in their caregiving role. A caregiver who cannot leave home can be a contributing member of an online group at any time and in any place.
Here are some online support groups that may be helpful to you.
