Supports for Caregivers | Free Webinar
Join us on June 2 at 7:00 PM EDT for an informative and supportive webinar focused on caregiving in the hydrocephalus and spina bifida community.
Many people take on caregiving roles—whether supporting a child, partner, or loved one often without identifying as a “caregiver.” This session is designed to recognize that role, highlight the importance of caregiver wellbeing, and connect you with free supports available across Ontario and Canada.
Featuring Sarah Calvin, Manager of Regional Engagement at the Ontario Caregiver Organization, alongside lived experience from community caregivers Janitha Shanmugarajan (parent) and Teresa Steeves (spouse).
You’ll learn:

Key themes in hydrocephalus and spina bifida caregiving, including lived experience perspectives
The importance of caregiver wellness and self-care
How to access free caregiver supports in Ontario and across Canada
