Tender Heart
We are safely back in person!
After months of seeing our group members over Zoom meetings only, we are excited to announce we are now back in person across the State of Michigan!
All clinical staff has been vaccinated, are tested weekly and wear masks at all times. Group activities have continued to be adjusted to limit the exposure of group members and when appropriate, sessions are continuing to be virtual.
We are so happy to be seeing our group members' smiling faces once again in person!
For those struggling with dementia, we have seen symptoms increase rapidly over this time. We have seen anxiety, depression and isolation completely overwhelm group members. Hopelessness and feelings of sadness are common and many who were not suffering from depression or anxiety pre-Covid are now struggling with these feelings and/or illnesses.
Without our regular sessions, we have seen proof of what Tender Heart knows to be true:
caring for our group members' mental health is vital.
recovering from the isolation caused by the covid-19 pandemic is difficult.
we are here to help.
Our purpose remains the same; to help clients cope through our inventive approach to mental health.
Across the state of Michigan, we have seen the positive impacts of our engagement as we begin focusing on a variety of mental health goals:
decreasing stress
coping with new separation from family & friends
challenging negative emotions
improving cognitive skills
decreasing frustration, hopelessness, fear
decreasing isolation
improving symptoms of their illness
providing mental health education
We have also expanded our services with individual sessions for group members who wish to see one of our social workers on their own.
Why should your loved one be a part of
tender heart's therapeutic sessions?
It is safe & easy for your loved ones.
We know the importance of safety during this pandemic. Our clinical staff are vaccinated and tested each week, health screenings are completed each day and masks are worn at all times with group members.
To increase joy & reduce depression, isolation & fear.
Your loved one may be dealing with depression, isolation & fear like never before. If they have been experiencing dementia, you may have noticed a progression of their symptoms. Our group sessions can reduce depression, isolation and fear and replace these feelings with joy, laughter and relief of being able to communicate with someone who cares.
Each group is facilitated by a Master's Level Social Worker.
Our social workers are fully licensed MSWs, meaning they have attended Graduate Programs and engage in training yearly. We work as a team across the state of Michigan to share best practices and problem-solve together often, ensuring the best possible services for your loved ones.
We bring over 400 years of combined knowledge and experience to our group members through creative, engaging activities and a variety of therapeutic techniques.
