The format of the group depends on the needs of members who attend. It is not a therapy group, is not based on a particular disease or affiliated with a particular care facility and is not just for seniors.

Our Caregiver Conversations session offers you:

  • A short break from the caregiver role.

  • A place where in a supportive but confidential atmosphere, you can talk to others who will take the time to listen, understand and share thoughts, feelings and concerns experienced by all Caregivers.

  • A place where you will not be judged but be given support by others who have been there and may assist you to find your way.

  • A place where you can learn about such issues as stress management, nutrition, and back care as well as other supports and services available in the community.

  • A place where through sharing with others, the importance of you role as a Caregiver is affirmed.
