| Caregiver Series Our Caregiver Series is a peer-led series online 5 session group hosted by Recreational Recite and sponsored by Rexall Care Network. The Canada wide program offers caregivers a online space to co-create an environment for connecting with others, through small group size safe groups, who are experiencing similar challenges, and develop a foundation for support. These five sessions will encourage outcomes including mentorship, resource sharing, self-care guidance, and building networks. This program has 5 sessions Oct 9th & 23rd, Nov 6th & 20th, Dec 4th & 11th. We ask if you register for the sessions you are able to make all sessions. |
