Strategies for Double Duty Caregivers – Balancing Work and Care – Webinar 3 of 3 in the series

There are over 4 million caregivers in Ontario who provide unpaid support to family members, partners, and friends. Many of these caregivers also work in caring professions across sectors. For double-duty caregivers, trying to balance the demands of providing care professionally as well as personally can sometimes lead to emotional strain and burnout.

This October, in celebration of Canada’s Healthy Workplace Month, the Ontario Caregiver Organization and CMHA Ontario’s Your Health Space invite you to
take part in a unique 3-part webinar series designed specifically for double-duty caregivers. The series will offer helpful resources, practical strategies, and ways to connect for additional support.
