Personalized Caregiver Support – Free for One Year

For over 40 years, the Area Agency on Aging of Western Michigan (AAAWM) has supported older adults, adults with disabilities, and their caregivers—helping them live independently with dignity. Now, we’re partnering with Help Texts to offer one-way, customized text support from mental health professionals, tailored to your caregiving journey.

This service is not therapy but provides encouragement, practical tips, and grief support—tailored to your unique needs and delivered twice weekly via text.

This free service is available for one year if you:

• Care for an adult 60+ in Allegan, Ionia, Kent, Lake, Mason, Mecosta, Montcalm, Newaygo, or Osceola counties.
• Need support for your well-being, caregiving guidance, or encouragement while grieving

It will take less than 5 minutes to sign up, and then your texts will begin right away. You'll receive two texts each week and additional messages in the first few weeks of your subscription and on important anniversaries and holidays for you and your loved one. You can stop and start the messages anytime.
