Care Partners of Persons Living with Dementia
HOW WE HELP
As a family caregiver, you may experience complex emotions and stress, and have to take on new roles and responsibilities. At times you may also find it difficult to balance the different aspects of your life. Our group and individual programs are designed to help.
PROGRAMS AND SUPPORT SERVICES
Our services include:
- The Reitman Centre CARERS Group and TEACH Group Programs: a skills-based training program for family members caring for someone with dementia. Caregivers learn problem solving techniques (PST) and receive clincal coaching in developing communications skills through our unique simulation method.
- Individual, group and family interventions: depending on your needs and availability there are options such as group or one-on-one sessions with a clinician to provide counselling, system navigation and practical skills training.
- All services require an initial assessment at Mount Sinai Hospital and are free of charge with an Ontario health card.
