Hello everyone!
I will be away during the holiday season. I will be back in January and sending out the #FamilyMatters E-Notice as the next family education program will be starting in early February 2019 in Barrie. That program will be a morning program. It has been mentioned to me that not everyone can attend evening programs due to work schedules or other family obligations. I have decided to offer a morning program which I hope supports family caregivers who might not have attended before. I have included posters which provide a date when I will start receiving sign-ups to attend the programs. Mark the date on your calendar so you know when to sign-up!
The 2019 schedule for the Barrie Family Support Group is posted below. Reminder that the Barrie Family Support Group that is facilitated by Elizabeth Marshall will be held at a new location 90 Mulcaster St., in Barrie Poster is below with more details. CMHA Simcoe County has updated their website to a new look, please visit their website to read about family caregiver support services
