Carefor Speaker Series: Supporting the Quiet Heroes of Care

Carefor is launching the Caregiver Speaker Series—an educational and inspirational initiative designed to support those caring for loved ones. Funded by Rexall, this six-part series will be hosted across Carefor’s centres in Eastern Ontario, at no cost to attendees.

Each session will feature Carefor’s frontline experts—occupational therapists, nurses, personal support workers, and social workers—sharing practical strategies for dementia care, safe mobility, and navigating community resources. The series offers caregivers not only knowledge, but affirmation and connection.

Topics will be decided based on consultation with each Centre team. They are experts in their communities and will know or may suggest topics that will create the most interest.

With 71 percent of Canadian caregivers reporting increased burnout since the pandemic, this program provides a vital space for learning, rest, and renewal. While caregivers attend, Carefor will provide on-site support for their loved ones, ensuring peace of mind and uninterrupted care.

Stay tuned for upcoming sessions and dates!
