Facilitated by a registered social worker from our Caregiver Support Program, Caregiver Discussions are a space for caregivers of seniors and/or persons living with dementia to exchange caregiving and coping strategies and resources.

Participants have the opportunity to bring their own topics for discussion or can request the social worker to provide focused guidance for specific issues.

These are in-person, drop-in groups and participants can choose which sessions they attend.

Please note:

  • There is no charge for these groups
  • Pre-registration is required, we cannot accept walk-ins. To register or for more information, call our intake line at 403.287.3510
  • These are drop-in groups and participants can choose which sessions and locations they attend.​
  • Sessions are offered at the JFSC offices, #100, 6131 6th Street SE.

Our goal is to ensure our caregivers get the best possible experience in our groups. We limit our caregiver groups to 11 people, and we maintain a wait list if the sessions are full. We understand the demands of caregiving, and sometimes being able to keep appointments can be challenging. We ask that you notify us within 48 hours of the session if you are not able to attend the group, so we can open up your spot to someone on the wait list.
