Support Groups for Seniors
Masssenior.org support groups allow seniors, to come together in small groups to share common experiences, problem-solve everyday problems, share resources, and provide emotional support. Our groups are confidential. Registration is required. Groups are free of charge. Occasionally, a portion of a group meeting features a guest expert speaker. Group participants have similar life experiences (they are peers), and the group is facilitated by a volunteer, trained peer facilitator.
Caregiver Support Group
Our group offers a safe and supportive space for Massachusetts seniors who are caring for a loved one. Facilitated by a trained Mass Senior Incorporated leader, we come together to share experiences, give mutual support, learn practical caregiving strategies, and discover essential Massachusetts-based resources. The Groups are confidential. The participants are asked not to share information outside of the group. We are there for each other in good times and bad times.
The group will launch in September 2025, with the exact date to be determined. Meetings will take place twice per month for two hours in a convenient virtual (online) format, making it easy for caregivers across the state to participate. In-person gatherings are also being planned. Participation is free, but registration is required to reserve a space and receive the meeting links.
Joining this group means becoming part of a community where Massachusetts seniors can connect, share, and grow together. Each session is facilitated by a Mass Senior Incorporated–trained facilitator who ensures that every meeting is a safe and welcoming space. Members find comfort in shared experiences, gain practical caregiving strategies, and learn about valuable local resources. Together, we celebrate victories, navigate challenges, and provide support through every stage of the caregiving journey.
Key topics include stress management and self-care, setting healthy boundaries, navigating healthcare systems and services, building emotional resilience, coping with grief, and accessing financial and legal resources that help ease the challenges of caregiving.

Shakespeare Sonnet 116
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand'ring bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out ev'n to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me prov'd,
I never writ, nor no man ever lov'd.
