AGING CAREGIVERS
May 24 2023 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm PDT
We cannot slow the aging process in ourselves or in the people we care for! As we get older, our ability to care for our family member becomes more and more difficult. Planning our future, and the future of our loved ones can be a terrifying process. Will we be able to provide the necessary care? Will they be well cared for in the future, after we are gone? What can we do to make the future easier? Connecting with other families in similar situations is the best way to problem-solve and figure out what will work best for our specific situations. This is a new family hangout. Join our call with other “mature” parents and caregivers and we can problem-solve together!

CHALLENGING BEHAVIOURS
May 17 2023 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm PDT
Complex behaviours are hard to handle! Whether those behaviours come from poor impulse control, language difficulties or oppositional tendencies, caregivers still struggle to understand and we all want to help. Join our Family Hangout for Challenging Behaviours and share with other caregivers who experience similar issues. Knowing that we are not alone in our struggles and hearing about options that have worked for other families can make the path just a little easier. This bi-weekly call is now a combination of two family hangouts; Complex Behaviours and Non-Speaking Autism. Please join us. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

Shared on behalf of the Collaborative Services Committee of the Central Interior Region
Hello Williams Lake, 100 Mile House and surrounding area community organizations, businesses, and residents!
There are lots of changes happening in healthcare right now, especially in primary care. Where and how to find and access primary care services can be confusing and challenging. To support Central Interior residents, the Collaborative Services Committee developed a primary care newsletter that aims to update stakeholders and the public on some of the changes taking place, and provide resources on how to access healthcare services while we work on solutions.
We hope you will help us get the word out, and consider sharing the attached newsletter and resources with your networks through email, social media, newsletters, and by posting in public spaces. We appreciate your support in helping us get this information out to the public!
To get a printed copy of any of the healthcare services resource posters and brochures to post in offices or businesses please reach out to info@cirdivision.ca.
What is the Collaborative Services Committee? Learn more about us on page 1 of the newsletter.
Best regards,
Central Interior Collaborative Services Committee
