Do you assist a family member or friend living with challenges resulting from disability, illness, or aging? If you said yes; you are a caregiver.

You can choose to attend one, some or all of the 8 sessions offered on Thursday afternoons. The material being presented is provided by the Alberta Caregiver Association.
