The UFT Member Assistance Program, in collaboration with the UFT's Retiree Social Services, offers caregiver support groups to all UFT members. Participants connect in a safe and confidential space to share experiences, share tips and strategies with other caregivers who are in similar situations. The Health and Cancer Helpline also offers caregiver support. The Helpline works closely with caregivers to alleviate the stress they may be experiencing by providing emotional support, tips for coping, and referrals to caregiving support groups.
