Please consider making a gift today. 

More About Jack's Caregiver Coalition 

Our mission is to improve the way guys think, feel, and act during every phase of their caregiving journey.   

Why is our mission important? Our “hero fixes it alone” cultural context leads too many guy caregivers into a trap of unsustainable isolation. 

What Jack’s Offers: We’re a non-profit hospitality company with no paywall for our services. Our programs are all designed to connect caregivers with others who have successfully navigated the same terrain.  

How We’re Different: Nearly half of all caregivers are men, so we’re surprised we’re the first and only caregiver support community focused on men. We support active caregivers as well as those who’ve lost their loved ones. Unlike many of our peers, we aren’t made up of counselors, therapists, and social workers.  

Support Our Programs

The Klatch (our version of a support group)—The Klatch is not your ordinary support group! Join us in a welcoming environment for food and drinks. There, we have a structured group dialogue about caregiver issues that the group chooses to talk about. The Klatch is led by someone who has been a caregiver, too. Gain validation, helpful advice, a sense of belonging, and restoration. We offer 2 Klatches: one for Caregivers and the other for those living with loss after a caregiving experience. These Klatches are for members of any gender.

Help! I'm a Caregiver!—Designed for new caregivers, this program will give you a solid understanding of the many resources available to make life easier for you and your loved ones. 

Care Navigator—Our Care Navigator can help you navigate the complexities of the healthcare system and provide you with information about the valuable resources that are available to you. 

Jack-to-Jack Coaching—Jack-to-Jack will connect you to a guy who’s been in your shoes. You might laugh together, cry together, or grab a coffee or some beers and, well, shoot the shit.

Storm Chasers—Is a storm threatening in the distance, bringing fear and uncertainty, or hitting you hard, causing exhaustion and anguish? Jack's Storm Chaser Mobile Kitchen is here to encourage caregivers, one meal at a time.

Respite Events—Our respite events are an opportunity for family caregivers to take a break from the intensity of caregiving. Best of all, you will be hanging out with guys who understand what it's like.
