Caregiver Support and Network aims to promote self-care by providing a platform for caregivers to nurture their interests, learn new skills, maintain their well-being and connect with like-minded individuals at the same time.
Join us for a time of respite as you engage with other caregivers in various group activities ranging from themed musical nights to baking, dialect learning, photography sessions and more! By taking time to recharge, you can take better care of yourself and your loved ones for the long haul.
