Jonesboro, AR ~ Catch phrases come and go, but there is one that has taken off recently that is worthy of sharing.\u00a0 Have you found your “tribe?”\u00a0 According to the Urban Dictionary<\/a> a tribe is defined as a group of friends that becomes your family.\u00a0 <\/em>Some people refer to their own family as their tribe.\u00a0 Another way to look at it is a group of “your people” that will always be there for you no matter what.\u00a0 It is also defined by joining a group that allows you to feel like you are one of them \u2013 such as a drama club, a knitting circle or even a Bunco group. It’s always great to spend time with people who share your<\/b> interests, who happily welcome you into their circle. It’s a very good feeling.<\/p>\n

At the UAMS Center on Aging-Northeast and Schmeiding Caregiver Training Program, we want to invite you to join one of our Tribes <\/em>to find support when you need it most<\/strong>.\u00a0 <\/em>We offer support groups in the areas of, COPD (Better Breathers Club), Prostate Cancer Peer Network and an Alzheimer’s Caregiver Support Group.<\/p>\n

In a recent article by the Fearless Caregiver<\/a>, they described a good support group as “a safe and comforting, honest and open place filled with wisdom, advice, shoulders to cry on and even laughter.”\u00a0 They also talk about this being a good way to “find your tribe.”\u00a0 We encourage you to join us on a monthly basis and find your people who understand and glean from your stories as well.<\/p>\n
