Bringing people together
Support groups allow caregivers to share their situations and experiences with other participants who understand them. In this sharing space, respect, confidentiality, and non-judgment are emphasized. The meetings are open, by registration, and facilitated by one of our counsellors. We are committed to making our support as accessible as possible, so we offer a variety of locations, time slots, and meeting formats.

Testimonial
