We are so excited to announce another partnership with Hydrocephalus Canada (formerly SB&H Ontario), to prepare and provide a new Hydrocephalus Caregiver Workshop series and toolkit. This project is generously supported by the Rexall Care Network.  Recreational Respite is collaborating with Hydrocephalus Canada (formerly SB&H Ontario) Caregiver Network Initiative on the delivery of this series, which will address social isolation, including supporting digital literacy, providing caregivers with a safe space to connect with others experiencing similar challenges, and create strong connections for support, regardless of their geography. Through this series, participants will have the opportunity to share, reflect, and build networks of support. The toolkit provided to caregivers is based on the learnings from this series, thus allowing for broader exposure to other caregivers, including those within our own community. We believe that this ensures every caregiver who needs help will have the opportunity to seek support in a way that works best for them. We are very excited to be partnering on this very important initiative!
