Bourbonnais, IL – UpliftedCare is inviting caregivers and community members to attend two free support and educational events in June at its Community Grief Center in Bourbonnais.
According to UpliftedCare, the organization’s monthly Caregiver Support Group will meet Wednesday, June 10, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the UpliftedCare Community Grief Center, 3115 N. 1000 West Road in Bourbonnais.
The event is designed for family caregivers seeking support, understanding and practical guidance while caring for loved ones. This month’s featured speaker is Amanda Roy, a licensed speech-language pathologist with Riverside Healthcare.
Roy specializes in evaluating and treating adults with communication and swallowing disorders related to conditions such as stroke, dementia, Parkinson’s disease and other neurological disorders. Organizers say attendees will have an opportunity to learn about resources that may help support their caregiving journey. A light lunch and refreshments will be provided.
Later in the month, UpliftedCare will host Part 3 of its “Business Side of Death” Grief Support Workshop Series on Saturday, June 20, from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the same location.
The free workshop is designed to help families better understand the legal, financial and administrative responsibilities that often follow the death of a loved one. Organizers say the series aims to provide practical information and guidance for navigating these often-overwhelming tasks.
In addition to the June events, UpliftedCare offers a variety of ongoing grief support groups throughout the week, including programs focused on spousal loss, loss of a parent or sibling, child loss, pregnancy and infant loss, grief walking groups, yoga and book clubs.
All services are provided free of charge. Registration is required for both June events and support groups. To RSVP or obtain additional information, call UpliftedCare at 815-939-4141.
