CarePartner Learning Series
Our support group program integrates education and facilitated group discussions to create a unique and supportive client-centred experience.
Support group sessions are offered in 4-week blocks with weekly themes, and CarePartners can register and participate as needed.
CarePartner Cafe
ASP hosts a monthly gathering that serves as an anchor for CarePartners to connect in an informal and relaxed group setting where they can socialize with others and share their caregiving journey in the spirit of healing and learning.
All gatherings are co-facilitated by our ASP Staff Facilitators and Peer CarePartners using fantastic tools and resources.
Ambiguous Loss and Grief
It is a 3-week series that provides CarePartners (at any stage throughout their journey) searching to better understand and cope with the many losses associated with providing care to a person living with dementia. CarePartners will be guided through weekly topics focusing on loss and grief, such as:
- What is Ambiguous Loss
- Grief
- Coping
- Expectations
- Asking for help
- Self-Care and Wellbeing
Walk and Talk
Walk and Talk is a seasonal opportunity (July and August) to combine the best of peer-to-peer support with a little light exercise. This group takes the conversation outside to enjoy the weather and some much-needed social respite and support, with scenery included!
Participants should be comfortable participating in light to moderate walking for approximately 45 minutes. Locations will include, but not be limited to, Port Credit/ Lakeshore walking paths, Chinguacousy Park, and similar.
Walk and Talk is facilitated by our Dementia Resource Consultants.
