The Ontario Caregiver Organization VIRTUAL OPEN HOUSE 2024

November 14 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Free

The Ontario Caregiver Organization (OCO) exists to improve the lives of caregivers across Ontario. At OCO, we offer a variety of free programs and services
to support many different types of caregiving needs.
Caregivers often ask:
• What type of caregiving support is available?
• What programs have caregivers found most useful for their caregiving journey?
Join us as we chat with caregivers who share their experiences with OCO programs including:
• Education supports such as OCO webinars, eLearning, and 90second Caregiver
• Peer Support such as 1:1 Peer Support, Online Caregiver Support Groups, and Young Caregiver Support
• Mental Health and Wellness programs such as SCALE program and Caregiver Coaching
• The OCO Helpline 1-833-416-2273 (CARE)

We will also demonstrate a walk-though of the OCO website so that caregivers will learn how to access, find, and register for programs.

Our Caregiver Co-host: The OCO is pleased to welcome back Ron Beleno, an experienced family caregiver who looked after his late father with Alzheimer’s for over 10+ years. Ron continues to provide support to family members and friends in need of care. He is an active advocate for dementia, caregiving, aging, and research communities.
Who should attend? If you are an unpaid caregiver (e.g., family/friend), work in the health or social services sector, or are an employer of caregivers.

Most of us, at some point in our lives, will be a caregiver to someone close to us. A caregiver provides physical and/or emotional support to a family member, partner, friend, or neighbour. Who do you care for?
