In this webinar series :
Family Caregivers as Valued Partners to Support Aging in Place
January 29, 2025, 12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m. ET
1 in 4 people in Canada are caregivers, providing health, social, emotional and physical support to those they care for. Yet they are often under-recognized and under-supported by the healthcare system.
In this webinar, participants will explore how health and social providers can adopt a Caregiver-Centered approach, improving the well-being and inclusion of family caregivers. Learn about practical strategies to implementing caregiver-centred care and how it can decrease caregiver burden, social isolation and improve the overall quality of the care experience.
The Caregiver-Centered Care initiative has developed award-winning, competency-based education for health and social care providers and leaders to develop the knowledge, skills, and ability to recognize, partner and support family caregivers in practice. Participants will have access to educational resources to help develop their skills and confidence in providing caregiver-centred care.
