A program is being offered at the Coquitlam's Dogwood Pavilion to teach unpaid caregivers some basic tools for supporting their loved ones and themselves.
A caregiver is a spouse, adult child, family or a friend who is providing support to a person over 50 years old. This program provides caregivers living in the Tri-City area with the tools to support their loved one and more important, the tools to remain healthy and well themselves.
The weekly Wednesday course starts Feb. 1 and continues until Feb 29 between 12:30 p.m. and 1:15 p.m. at Dogwood Pavilion (624 Poirier St., Coquitlam). Each session costs $20 and lunch is included.
To register at Dogwood Pavilion, call 604-933-6089. For more information about the program contact Linda Western, project manager, Tri-Cities Caregivers Connections, at 604-927-7917.
