SUMMARY:SCALE Program: The Care Recipient’s Experience
DESCRIPTION:Relationships\, especially close relationships\, are complicated. Many factors further complicate the relationship between yourself and the person you are caring for. Enhancing our understanding of the other’s personal experience and internalizing empathy\, as well as determining healthy boundaries\, helps to maintain health within otherwise complex relational dynamics. These topics\, as well as a communication toolbox\, will be explored in this week of the program. \n\nFor more information about this program\, please visit: https://ontariocaregiver.ca/scale-program \nRegister today.
