of preventing and responding to elder abuse. As
part of a series for seniors and their caregivers, the
forums raise awareness of issues impacting seniors,
as well as provide valuable information about legal,
safety, and support resources available to seniors
and their caregivers in Surrey. Adult family members
are welcome to attend. The Forums are offered in
various languages throughout Surrey.
Caregiver Workshops
These workshops, presented by Seniors Come
Share Society, focus on refreshing your spirit,
validating your efforts, and assisting you in your
journey as a caregiver. Specific topics vary by
workshop, but may include: “The Do’s and Don’ts
of Dementia”, “Educate Yourself: It May Not Be
Dementia”, and “Remaining Healthy and Successful
While Caring for Another”, among others. Come
share your wisdom and make connections with
others in a similar role. Seniors, caregivers, and
families are all welcome to attend these sessions, as
valuable information will be provided.
