The Caregiver Show ... featuring Teepa Snow!


Teepa Snow is a dementia expert and certified Occupational Therapist.

Her unique medical perspective on how the brain controls our body and our behaviors combined with her engaging presentation style makes her a "not-to-miss" part of The Caregiver Show on May 14th.

Did you know...

almost 8 million Canadians are caregivers?

 

The Caregiver Show is only a few weeks away and we can't believe we used an inaccurate statistic in our last newsletter! This month, we extend our sincere apologies to the 5 million caregivers that were missed when we reported only 3 million caregivers in Canada!

 

 

Becoming a caregiver is a life-changing decision and many caregivers are thrust into the role unaware of the wonderful community resources available to help them.

 

That's one reason Downsizing Diva teamed up with Metroland Media, Saint Elizabeth Health Care, CCAC and Alzheimer Toronto to help family caregivers find the best resources, products, services and community contacts for their caregiving journey.
