SUMMARY:Contingency and Emergency Planning - presented by the Ontario Caregiver Organization
DESCRIPTION:Caregivers provide an average of 11-30 hours of care per week\, supporting a family member\, spouse\, friend or\nneighbour. The physical and emotional support provided by caregivers is crucial to the health and wellbeing of their care recipient. So\, what happens when the caregiver needs support? With burnout at an all time high\, caregivers need their own support networks and a contingency plan for the person they care for. \nIn this session\, participants will learn how to build a contingency plan\, prepare for emergencies and learn strategies for implementation. \nYou can attend in person (Ottawa)\, via Zoom or phone.\nTo register and receive the information to connect remotely Call 613-236-0428 or e-mail info@thegoodcompanions.ca
