WSA Support Groups and State Contacts

Many of our members volunteer their time to run our Support Groups or act as State Contacts to give the same support to others they themselves have received. Please allow time for our volunteers to get back to you, as many of them are current spousal caregivers.

Our groups are listed in alphabetical order. Please click on the group name for meeting information or to email a group leader. Always contact your group leader before you attend your first group meeting, so they know to expect you.

Fact: The WSA...

Note: For 21 years an annual supporting membership, including a subscription to Mainstay and other benefits was $25. Recently, the WSA Board voted to raise that cost by $5 to $30 in the U.S. and $35 elsewhere in North America. Overseas, Mainstay will only be available elecronically, in the members' area. Had we kept up to inflation the cost today would be $43.50.

is the only national organization focusing exclusively on the needs of all spouses caring for a chronically ill and/or disabled husband, wife, or partner. Let others in the Well Spouse Association who have “been there and done that” help you face the challenges of long-term caregiving.

Playing the Canada Card: an American Caregiver's Experience

Playing the Canada Card:

an American Caregiver's Experience

My husband John’s disease erupted like fireworks in the afternoon of my New Year’s Eve birthday seven years ago. I went out for the afternoon and returned home to find a stranger who only looked like John, talking gibberish and tearing our house apart at the seams. The siege lasted 16 hours.I thought of survival, not of Canada. As it turned out, survival and Canada would become one and the same.
