What you need to know about hearing loss – Community outreach session
Oct 8 @ 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Nearly one in four adult Canadians report some hearing loss. In older adults, hearing loss often happens gradually over time. This loss can easily go undetected. It may interfere with communication and often leaves seniors feeling quite isolated and misunderstood. It can become a common source of frustration for caregivers. However, support is available. Join us for a joint information session with a hearing care specialist and the Association des personnes avec une déficience de l’audition.

Caregiver’s Cafe: The January Blahs…Or is it Depression?
Jan 15 @ 10:00 AM

It’s normal to feel that after-holiday let down when all the festivities of the season end, the credit card bills roll in, and the coldest weather, snow, and ice make us housebound. The feelings of melancholy accompanying this period are commonly known as the January Blahs. When should we take notice that the January Blahs are more serious or have turned into depression? Depression is a mood disorder accompanied by feelings of sadness, anger, and loss that can affect a person’s every-day activities. Sadness doesn’t always mean depression. Join us for this timely videoconference with  presenter, Yvonne Clark, Clinical Social Worker and Grief Counselor, to learn more about the difference between feeling down or blue and full-blown depression.

Baby Chat: Coffee & Conversation
Feb 11 @ 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM

Baby Chat Café  offers a special oasis that allows parents of babies up to one year of age the chance to get together and  chat about a variety of parenting issues. Come exchange information and make some new friends. Parents-to-be are also welcome to attend. Enjoy each other’s company, free parking and snacks. Come as you are and chill with us. Our scale is available for you to weigh your baby. Older siblings are welcome too.  We’ve had to postpone our Québec Daycare System discussion until the March session as our volunteer guest speakers have sick kids at the moment. Instead you’re invited to get together to for coffee (or tea or tisane) and conversation. 

 

No need to register – it’s a drop-in that runs from 10 AM  to 11:30 AM.  Great way to meet other moms and dads and learn something new about parenting.  We will provide a parking voucher so feel free to park in the hospital parking lot.   Hope to see you there!
