EAP Caregiver Support Group Meets the 2nd Wednesday of each month from 4:45 – 6:00 pm.
Next Caregiver Group: Wednesday, January 13, 2021 Arlington EAP Caregiver Support Group January 1-13-2021 from 4:45 pm – 6:00 pm.
Let’s welcome new members!!!
Please come and share what has or hasn’t worked for you!
We encourage you to consider attending this wonderful support group for employees who have an elderly relative or family member with special needs. Sometimes we have a guest speaker on different topics related to elder care. However, most months our focus is sharing and supporting each other. Group members benefit from learning ways to cope with the challenges of caring while balancing other work/family responsibilities.
This group is open to all APS/ACG employees and their family members with no charge. Also APS/ACG retirees are welcome! Feel free to drop into our Zoom meeting and chat with others.
The group is facilitated by EAP staff. Please RSVP to Samia: Samia.Bellounis@apsva.us

This Week is National Eating Disorder Awareness Week. The goal (#NEDAwareness) is to shine the spotlight on eating disorders by educating the public, spreading a message of hope, and putting lifesaving resources into the hands of those in need.

@tweet Studying history enables us to develop better understanding of the world in which we live. Black history month is a great time to learn more about the culture and achievements of Americans of African descent.
