Hello everyone, Happy Friday!

I know many family caregivers have asked me when the next family education program will be offered. There will be a program in Barrie starting in January. I will circulate the poster on January 6, 2020. You can sign-up on this date.

I will be taking some time off during the holiday season, I have included my time away dates.

I have included the 2020 schedule for the Barrie Family Support Group.

Take care,

Tara Maxwell, Coordinator

Find Support: Contact Crisis Services

Most of us go through life solving our day-to-day problems without needing help to cope with our feelings. But a severe illness, an accident or an emotional crisis can overwhelm us, at least temporarily, and suddenly we need help. In this section, you will find resources and tips on getting help when you need it most.

Contact our CRISIS SERVICES at 705-728-5044 (local) or 1-888-893-8333 (toll free) (TTY services available)
