Caregiver Support Groups – Virtual & In-Person Options in Ottawa West

Are you a caregiver looking for support, connection, and resources? We offer free caregiver support groups for individuals providing care to loved ones, including specialized sessions for those supporting someone with dementia-related disorders.

These groups are designed to help caregivers manage stress, share experiences, and access valuable information in a safe and welcoming environment.

🖥️ Virtual Weekly Caregiver Support Group

Join our online caregiver support group every Wednesday from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM via Microsoft Teams. These sessions are ideal for caregivers who prefer the convenience of connecting from home while still benefiting from peer support and professional guidance.

🏠 In-Person Monthly Caregiver Support Group

Meet other caregivers in person on the last Tuesday of each month from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM at 3865 Old Richmond Road (Hollyer House). These monthly gatherings offer a warm, supportive space to share and learn together.

📣 Who Should Join?

• Family caregivers
• Friends or neighbours providing care
• Individuals supporting someone with dementia
• Anyone seeking emotional support and caregiving resources
