The SCALE Program aims to empower caregivers with practical information and skills to focus on their mental health and well-being needs by offering:
• Weekly psychoeducational webinars (LIVE or RECORDED) are divided into two 4-week sessions (see below for Session 1 and Session 2 topics). You may register for all of Session 1, Session 2, or individual webinars to suit your needs.
• Strategies, tools, and resources to better cope with difficult caregiving emotions.
• Free and confidential online group and/or individual counselling (OPTIONAL). *Space is limited. Registration is based on a first-come, first-served basis. *If you’re planning to access these services, it is highly encouraged that you register for the full session of webinars to receive the maximum benefit from group or individual counselling.
“ SCALE lessened my burden of caregiving. Before, it was so heavy I couldn’t bear it. But after SCALE I started seeing things in other ways....so I have more energy to put into caring for my parents” – Caregiver
