Understanding Caregiver Challenges in Rural Communities

March 14, 2024
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Being a caregiver is a challenging journey, and for those living in rural communities, the path can be even more demanding. Accessing essential support and resources when living far from healthcare can be time-consuming, especially during a crisis. Join our informative webinar and hear from Cierra Garrow, a young caregiver with firsthand experience and knowledge of rural caregiving. You will get insights on:
• Tools, tips, and practical strategies for caregiving in rural communities
• Navigating the rural healthcare system and getting access to the support you need
• Building a support network to share experiences with other caregivers
Who should attend? This webinar is for caregivers who live in all communities, but especially for caregivers who live in small towns, cities, and hamlets all over Ontario.

NOTE: Due to unforeseen circumstances, there has been a change in speaker. We have updated the speaker bio below.
