Caregiver Support Group

• connect with others who are experiencing the same kind of loss
• develop friendships with people who can identify with and understand what you are going through
• experience a safe, confidential environment where you and other people experiencing some kind of loss can support each other in your journeys

Please join us at 4:00 PM on the 4th Tuesday of each month. Sessions are in-person at the Wildwood Yellowhead County Office OR online via Zoom.
