NEWPORT — Almost everyone takes on the role of caregiver at some point. Whether it’s for an elder, a child, or as a caregiving employment, it’s ahead for most of us.
Community Commons will explore the needs, pitfalls, and highlights of caregiving locally.
“Caregiving provides a rich range of topics for us to examine,” says Barbara Morrow, Executive Director of the Orleans County Restorative Justice Center. “I’m betting we’ll talk about everything from caregiver support to financial abuse.”
The monthly meeting will be held Wednesday, May 18, at the Gateway Center, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. All are welcome.
“Our community is one that wants to age in place, and nurture our youngsters,” Morrow said. “We can form more partnerships and communication lines to favor these concerns. There’s a lot of people doing a lot of positive things, but how to find out when you’re in need?”
Community Commons meetings have been underway for over two years now, and have resulted in a number of partnerships and projects.
It is sponsored in part by Community National Bank, AARP-VT, and is assisted with in-kind from the City of Newport.
All are welcome at any of the once monthly meetings. For more information, contact the Justice Center at 802-487-9327.
