Caregiver Support Groups
We hold three monthly support groups. Group meetings consist of ‘round table’ discussions on topics relating to dementia and caregiving. Participants enjoy meeting new friends and sharing their thoughts, ideas and helpful hints for caring for someone with dementia. Upon request, we can provide individual family sessions.
Education Sessions
We also offer several monthly group education sessions and self-help series, such as Living with Stroke, and Living with Stroke and Aphasia.
All services are free-of-charge. To register for one of these programs, call 416-285-3810 and leave a message on our Hotline. Your call will be returned within 24 hours.
