Looking after everyone except yourself
This is a military city, and many households live with moves, deployments and the change that comes when service ends and the unit is no longer there. It is also a city of close families, where a parent, a grandparent or a relative with a long-term illness is often cared for at home by someone who also works. Budgets are stretched for many households, and although the area has many services, people often say the hard part is working out which one is for them. Those who give the most care tend to be the last to ask for any.
How peer support helps near San Antonio
A peer group is an hour where you are not the one in charge of anyone else. It is free to join and you take part from home, so it can fit between a shift, a school run and looking after a relative, and it moves with you if the next posting takes you somewhere new.
