New! We have a New Caregivers Support Group page on our website here

Family or friend caregivers may be juggling work, family members, friend, and/or neighbours.

The main goal of this group is to create a viable and sustainable support team for unpaid caregivers in South Vancouver - to help caregivers take some time for themselves.

Join this group to meet other caregivers, share life experiences, and build your own strong, positive and supportive network. Each monthly session involves informative discussions on various caregiver challenges as well as fun and exciting group activities. Light refreshments will be provided, and bus tickets are available if needed.

Held on the 3rd Tuesday of the month
