The demands of caregiving can leave you feeling stressed,
burned out, and low on energy. One way to boost your health
is through nutritious meals. Good nutrition is essential for
caregivers, as it helps regulate your health, energy, and mood.
But with rising food costs and food insecurity, caregivers
may find it challenging to maintain a regular nutritious plan.
Join our webinar and hear from Nishta Saxena, a registered
dietitian and nutritionist, on how you can:
• Create quick nutritious meals and snacks for yourself
while on a budget
• Manage stressors in your caregiving journey and what
impact they have on your mood and sleeping habits
Our Speaker: Nishta Saxena is a Toronto-based Registered
Dietitian and Child & Family Nutritionist. She is the owner of
a busy nutrition clinic Vibrant Nutrition in Toronto. Her clinical
expertise spans 16 years, and she has helped thousands of
people and families to understand and implement strategies
to improve their health. She knows the transformative power
of nutrition in people’s lives, and her mission is to increase
access to information that helps people make strategic
changes in their lives. Nishta is a Food and Nutrition Expert
with CTV Your Morning and appears regularly on television
and in the media as a nationally recognized nutrition expert.
She is also a busy married mother of 2 tweens, and is part of
the notorious sandwich generation, with an elderly father and
a thriving business to support.
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 such as:
• 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: Ron Beleno is an experienced family caregiver to his late father who lived with Alzheimer’s for over 10+ years while supporting his mother during their caregiving journey. Ron 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.
Caring for another person can be challenging, particularly when the relationship is complex or strained. You may be experiencing mixed feelings about the situation and how to best accept the caregiving role. In this webinar, join our Caregiver Coach, Jane Vock, and learn about:

• Understanding what forgiveness is and how it can help you
• Mindfulness exercise – learn to stay in the present moment
• Letting go of negative feelings and setting boundaries
• Find meaning for yourself – do things that make you happy
• When and where to seek professional help, counselling, coaching
