1:30 PM to 3:00 PM

Are you a family caregiver for someone who has experienced an acquired brain injury or stroke? It's not about just surviving, it's about thriving as a caregiver. For every hour of care provided by the health system, family caregivers provide ten. It’s a big role! Join us for a seminar to learn tips to stay healthy and avoid burnout, while caring for someone with an acquired brain injury

Facilitator, Wendy Johnstone coordinates the Community Stroke Navigator Program at Nanaimo Brain Injury Society for people affected by brain injury and stroke.  With a Master’s Degree in Gerontology and close to 20 years’ experience in case management, system navigation and stroke, Wendy is passionate about supporting family caregivers and the people they are caring for in making informed decisions about the future.

This workshop is FREE for families and caregivers. Space is limited. Please use this link to reserve your seat online: http://learntothrive2016.eventbrite.ca
