Traverse Independence is funded to offer caregiver support services through the Waterloo Wellington Local Health Integration Network (WWLHIN). We do this through the Care to Share series.
USEFUL TIPS
CARE TO SHARE CAREGIVER SUPPORT SERIES
Location(s): St. Joseph’s Health Centre, 100 Westmount Road, Guelph
This free 8 week goal-oriented program, under the supervision of a clinical psychologist, provides the knowledge and support needed to better assist someone with a brain injury and, most importantly, the knowledge you need to care for yourself.
The Kitchener Care to Share program was to resume in the spring of 2020, but in response to COVID-19 this initiative has been canceled.
