The SCALE Program returns on February 8th, 2022!
The SCALE Program (Supporting Caregiver Awareness, Learning and Empowerment) aims to empower caregivers with practical information and skills to focus on their own mental health and well-being needs by offering:
- Weekly psychoeducational webinars (LIVE or RECORDED) divided into two 4-week sessions (see below for Session 1 and Session 2 topics).
- Strategies, tools, and resources to better cope with difficult caregiving emotions
- Free and confidential online group &/or individual counselling (OPTIONAL). Space is limited, registration is based on first come, first-served basis.
Psychoeducational webinars
Webinars were designed to focus on a series of subjects that are applicable to new or experienced caregivers, positioning you and your mental health at the centre of the sessions.
You may register for all of Session 1, Session 2, or individual webinars to suit your needs. As a caregiver, we understand how valuable your time is and that is why we developed a program to best suit your schedule.
Online Group and/or Individual Counselling
All counselling and coaching sessions are free of cost and confidential.
Sessions are delivered by trained mental health providers through Dynamic Health in Toronto, Ontario with personal caregiving experience and/or caregiving expertise. Only registered participants will receive an online booking link to sign-up for counselling services. Space is limited and based on a first-come first-serve basis.
