March of Dimes

This webinar explores how can we climb this mountain to the pinnacle of caring for our loved one and then return down the other side to our own well being and a life without regret.

In this Fireside Chat, we look at how to best navigate this crisis as a caregiver and to ensure the best possible outcomes for ourselves and our loved ones.

Join Katie Muirhead from the Ontario Caregiver Organization (OCO) to learn more about OCO and how they support Unpaid Caregivers across Ontario. Katie will review a brief history of the organization and go into details about the resources and supports that they are currently offering Caregivers. These supports include recent additions in response to COVID-19.

Join published author and celebrated TEDx speaker Yvonne Heath as she guides caregivers through her 10 Tips on Navigating Life and Global Grief as a Caregiver.

We are experiencing grief right now—global grief. The words pandemic, corona-virus and COVID-19 and social isolation are causing havoc on our world and changing life as we know it—temporarily. It is particularly challenging for our caregivers.

All participants will receive a #Ijustshowedupbraclet!
