Caregiver Training & “Art of Living” Workshops
Have you ever thought about taking the caregiver training but were unable to do so due to a lack of resources to care for your loved one while you were away? This schedule is designed specifically for you. Wednesday training allows you to attend sessions while your loved one is being cared for by one of our counsellors.
“ART OF LIVING” WORKSHOPS (For the Person with the Disease)
The “Art of Living” workshops are designed for people in the early and middle stages of the disease. An activity to create a beautiful life notebook allows you to put your story and the highlights of your life journey on paper. You will be asked to take photos throughout the sessions to complete the project.
