The Ontario Caregiver Organization (OCO) exists to improve the lives of caregivers across Ontario. At OCO, we offer a variety of free programs and services to support many different types of caregiving needs. Caregivers often ask:
• What type of caregiving support is available?
• What programs have caregivers found most useful for their caregiving journey?
Join us as we chat with caregivers who share their experiences with OCO programs such as:
• Education supports such as OCO webinars, eLearning, and 90second Caregiver
• Peer Support such as 1:1 Peer Support, Online Caregiver Support Groups, and Young Caregiver Support
• Mental Health and Wellness programs such as SCALE program and Caregiver Coaching
• The OCO Helpline 1-833-416-2273 (CARE)
We will also demonstrate a walk-though of the OCO website so that caregivers will learn how to access, find, and register for programs.
Our Caregiver Co-host: Ron Beleno is an experienced family caregiver to his late father who lived with Alzheimer’s for over 10+ years while supporting his mother during their caregiving journey. Ron is an active advocate for dementia, caregiving, aging, and research communities.
Who should attend? If you are an unpaid caregiver (e.g., family/friend), work in the health or social services sector, or are an employer of caregivers.
