Upper neck, back, shoulder pain that causes caregiver stress is the topic of the coming workshop on Thursday, March 18th. Presented by: Dr Karen Hudes, Chiropractor and Rehabilitation Specialist at Badass Chiropractic Wellness.

Then, on March 25th, the workshop will talk about Elder Abuse, Dementia & Why Dementia Clients are more Vulnerable. Presented by: Karen Stewart, Lawyer, Advocacy Centre for the Elderly.

The Caregiver Workshop has been held for more than ten years with the leadership of Stacy Hilliman (Client Service Coordinator of the North York Seniors Centre). According to Stacy, the presenting calendar was built based on discussions she had within her caregivers’ group. “We constantly apply surveys, and some topics that came up were considered.” She enhances that the workshops intend to provide awareness, essential insights, and techniques to improve the ability to be a better caregiver. “Besides, it will be a place where attendants can socialize, meet new friends, and connect with people that can support them”.
