Caregiver Programs:
Stay tuned!
In addition to our Care to share psychologist-led programs in the fall, the Ontario Brain Injury Association (OBIA) has three special half-day workshops coming to our area!
When someone suffers a brain injury the whole family is affected. If you have a partner, spouse, child, relative or close friend with an Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) it is important to recognize that this situation can be highly stressful to you and it is important to seek support. This three hour workshop will allow you to engage in meaningful conversations with other caregivers of brain injury survivors.
The Caregiver Workshops are completely free but require registration.
October 17 Fergus 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. https://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/eventReg?oeidk=a07egi1px0329ac1345&oseq=&c=&ch=
