Due to inclement weather, the Renfrew County Parent Support Group scheduled for this evening, December 6 at 6:30 pm, is cancelled. We apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause. We look forward to welcoming parents and caregivers back at the next meeting of this support group on Tuesday, February 3. Please take care, stay safe, and stay warm.

En raison des conditions météorologiques défavorables, le groupe de soutien aux parents du comté de Renfrew prévu ce soir, le 6 décembre à 18 h 30, est annulé. Nous nous excusons pour tout inconvénient que ce changement pourrait causer. Nous avons hâte d’accueillir à nouveau les parents et aidant·e·s lors de la prochaine rencontre de ce groupe de soutien, le mardi 3 février. Prenez soin de vous, restez en sécurité et au chaud.

Resources

Every family is unique, and together we can help navigate what will work best to support your child and family’s needs.

There are some commonalities – challenges or specific questions – that we have experienced ourselves and heard often, from the thousands of families we have served, and over the past twenty years. As we learn from our collective experience, we create and curate resources so that other parents, just like us, can find their way a little easier or sooner. We hope you find some useful wisdom here.

Dear Pleo

To realize the full benefits of caregiving, it is crucial that caregivers have access to the information and supports they need to sustain their own wellbeing, and that their voices are recognized and respected in Canada’s mental health system. Failure to support caregivers undermines mental health across the entire population, leading to poorer outcomes, both for the people living with a mental illness and their caregivers. This also leads to increased health and social service costs.
