Supporting Caregiver Awareness, Learning and Empowerment (SCALE) Program

March 18 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

A newly designed SCALE program is being launched this Winter. Register now to get new content and resources!
The SCALE Program aims to empower caregivers with practical information and skills to focus on their mental health and well-being needs by offering:
• Weekly psychoeducational webinars (LIVE or RECORDED) that acknowledge and unpack difficult caregiving emotions. You may register for all or individual webinars to suit your needs.
• Strategies, tools, and resources to better cope with difficult caregiving emotions and reflect on your own caregiving experience.
• Free and confidential online group and/or individual counselling (OPTIONAL). *Space is limited. Registration is based on a first-come, first served basis. You will need to watch the live or recorded webinars to receive the maximum benefit from group or individual counselling.
