COMPASS Wellness Walkers provides a venue for caregivers and family members of people living with dementia to feel supported through engaging with peers and professionals amidst the healing power of nature.
Come join us at the J-loop—a semi-wooded paved 1/2 mile path located a short walk from the JFS office entrance. We will start with a group check-in led by the facilitators, followed by walking around the J-loop with others or at your own pace–or just taking in the outdoors and connecting with others from a bench–before closing the group with breathwork or grounding techniques to check-out.
Feel free to join when you can, even if only once or twice — we’d love to have you as we build our community, and hopefully keep the group going after the current pilot phase!
When: Thursdays, 11am-12pm through April 17th (with the possibility of continuing the group if desired by participants)
Who: Participation in this group is open to family caregivers and other family members coping with a family member affected by dementia. Participants of varying physical abilities are invited to join; participation may involve sitting on a bench outside rather than walking. *Note that this group is intended for care partners only and not for patients with dementia to attend.
Where: JFS Delaware, 99 Passmore Rd, Wilmington, DE 19803
Cost: Led by skilled social work therapists, this therapeutic offering is billable to your insurance, with the exception of Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans at this time (private pay option available, $20 per session).
