Join us for our Confident Caregiver Series- weekly sessions designed to help you feel more confident, connected and supported while caring for your loved one.
Each session runs from 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m., followed by a group lunch from 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. where you’ll have the chance to connect with presenters and fellow attendees.
Respite care will be available upon request, so you can bring your loved one along. They’ll enjoy engaging activities while you attend the educational session.
If you can’t make all four sessions, that’s okay! Simply RSVP for the ones you’re able to attend.

"I just wanted to let you know that the Vendor and Expert was wonderful. The location of the event was very welcoming and comfortable for both the vendors and the attendees, and the design/setup allowed for meaningful conversations to occur. Subsequently, I believe that Trailblazer Transit engaged in our most successful community outreach in quite a long time. Congratulations to you and everyone else who helped plan and host the event. Well done!"
"It was such a nice event! I really liked having the chance to talk with different people- especially the ones I didn't already know. It was a good opportunity to learn more about what’s in our community for services and get a little education from the experts at the same time."
"I love seeing everyone and you create a very welcoming environment with your events. Cookies, flowers, and kindness. I love being there. So many comments on how it felt so nice in the room yesterday. Thank you for including us!"
