Starting in September 2012 the Caregivers of children support group is going to have two different groups on the same evening. The two groups will be Caregivers of Children and Caregivers of Teens. We feel that the division of these two groups will help parents find support in groups that meet their specific needs. When there are speakers booked, the two groups will meet together for the presentations.
The meetings will be on following dates:
August 22 – Combined meeting – speaker on massage therapy
September 26
October 24
November 28
January 23
February 27
March 20
April 24
May 22
June 26
The meetings are 6:30-8:30pm. Each meeting takes place at SMD (825 Sherbrook). There is ample parking in the lot across from the building, please remember to sign in & out at the front desk. For more information please email us as info@asperger-manitoba.ca
