May 7-13 is the provincially proclaimed Family Caregiver Week in British Columbia. Did you know that one in four people care for an adult family member or friend with a chronic disease, disability or frailty due to aging? Take a few minutes this month to thank the unpaid caregivers you know, and share some information about the resources available to “care for the caregiver.” For example, Vancouver Coastal Health’s Caregiver Support Program. All services are free.

Caregiver support services are available in communities throughout British Columbia. For residents outside of the Vancouver region, please call 211 for information on services near you.

This conference is for all people who are labeled to learn and share together. The Conference will be held on May 11-13, 2012 at Hilton Metrotown, Burnaby.
