Hello everyone!
September has arrived, school has started up again and everyone is getting back into their regular routines after the summer months. We are too at FMHI, the Fall 2018 family caregiver educational programs are beginning. Wasaga Beach started this week, if you are interested in attending there are still spots available. Email me, Tara Maxwell, at tmaxwell@cmhastarttalking.ca and you can join in to this program as we start week 2 on September 11.
