Hello everyone!

I know it has been several months since I have sent a newsletter. The fmhi.ca website experienced a database error back in December that I did not know how to fix. I am so very thankful and grateful to a family caregiver who knew what the problem was and was able to get the website back online. 

Due to not being able to send the information out about the virtual educational sessions, I have decided to create an email distribution list for family caregivers so I can ensure you get the information. This will be in addition to receiving the newsletter. If you do want to be added to my email list, please connect with me at tmaxwell@cmhastarttalking.ca

My apologies for any inconvenience this has caused. 

FMHI's Facebook page helps keep us connected.

I'm happy to announce that in addition to the virtual psycho-educational sessions, I will be offering two virtual family caregiver support groups beginning this month on the 2nd Tuesday and 3rd Monday from 6pm-8pm via Zoom.

 In this Issue:

• Virtual Family Caregiver Psycho-Education 

• Virtual Family Caregiver Support Group

• Mental Health Week 2021

• Crisis Services

Take care, 

Tara Maxwell
