Huron Perth Caregiver Info Events - 2020
As the new Huron-Perth Ontario Health Team begins to roll out, there are many questions about resources for caregivers in our community. The Change Foundation is a partnership with 6 organizations all working to improve the caregiver experience. If you have questions, think about attending one of the sessions at a location near you.
Find services and support for Huron caregivers
Caregivers are a family member or friend who provides unpaid support, assistance and care for someone in need. If you’re not a caregiver, but know someone who is, come to the session to get helpful information and meet representatives from local agencies.
If you work in a healthcare setting or at a community agency and interact with caregivers, come and learn about the resources you can use to help them.
