Caregiver Support
In recognizing the needs of isolated caregivers during the Covid-19 pandemic, we have started a virtual Caregiver Support Group. This group gives caregivers an opportunity to connect with one another in a time where it has become increasingly difficult to build connections. The support group is a dedicated safe space for caregivers to share their experiences, as well as seek advice from those in a similar position, without fear of judgement. Support group meetings are held bi-weekly on Thursdays at 1:30 PM. To learn more or to join, contact Nisa Moman at 604-531-9400 x 219 or nisa.moman@comeshare.ca or visit sharevirtually.com
