Webinar - Understanding loss and building a compassionate response tools for the care partner

This webinar's aim is to normalize the emotional side of caregiving through a better understanding the multiple losses one can experiencing upon a caregiving journey. This will include a look at the experience of anticipatory loss, the everyday losses caregivers face, and how the current pandemic has complicated our grief response.

Many of us are currently in autopilot mode. Hence, the aim of the session is to introduce the concept of self-compassion for caregivers experiencing loss; a simple strategy that can take less than 2 minutes a day to help caregivers acknowledge and validate their own feelings. We hope in this difficult time, it will offer a new tool for your caregiving kit and help caregivers build a compassionate response to self.

She is also a passionate teacher and has taught at Algonquin College and Carleton University. Currently she works as a Psychogeriatric Resource Consultant and at her private practice.
