Family Caregiver Support Group

NWICA is proud to sponsor a support group for caregivers of the elderly, CAMEO (Caregiver of the Aging-Managing, Expressing, and Overcoming).  CAMEO is hosted by the Purdue University Calumet Gerontology Center.  CAMEO meets from 6:30p.m. to 8:30p.m. on the first Tuesday of the month, September through June, at the Purdue University Calumet Entrepreneurship Center, 1247 E. 169th Street, Hammond, Indiana.  CAMEO is an all volunteer organization started in 1982 to provide support for children, relatives and friends who are responsible for the care of someone they love.  CAMEO provides a forum for individuals to share feelings, problems and solutions.
