What To Expect From The Program
You’re not alone .Being a family caregiver can feel like a lonely journey. You’re constantly making sacrifices to care for your loved one.
And while most of your social circle doesn’t understand the responsibilities and commitments that come with providing home or end-of-life care, our workshop participants and facilitators understand your challenges.
By providing support and resources, our workshops are created to improve the quality of life for family caregivers and their loved ones who require care.
Convenient & Accessible
With many caregivers already lacking time, we’ve made our workshops convenient and accessible, so no matter your location, schedule, or financial status, you can attend and learn the skills necessary to provide confident care.
Workshop Topics
Our family caregiver workshops cover a range of different topics, including:
More Benefits Of Attending A Workshop
Along with the specialized skills you’ll learn, we’ll also suggest complimentary technologies that you can use to make your daily activities easier and less stressful.
You’ll also learn how to perform health observations and watch out for any negative changes. This skill will help you feel empowered to communicate more effectively with your loved one’s healthcare provider and aid in earlier detection of declining health.
A Community Who Understands You
Our initiative doesn’t stop with knowledge and skills transfer. We also provide a safe, supportive community for you to connect with other caregivers.
Through our community learning centers, you can stay connected to workshop participants and facilitators while receiving ongoing support. All our facilitators undergo comprehensive diversity and inclusion training in order to create a safe, welcoming environment for all participants.

We help identify their strengths, work on their areas of need, and move them towards exciting learning paths and life-changing careers. Our post-secondary diploma and certificate programs offer careers in health, community studies, and business.
We also uniquely deliver to the increasing demands of our economy. Thanks to our workforce-relevant programming, the average diploma graduate from NorQuest College earns $15,100 more than a high school graduate at their career midpoint.

Our services reach from Drayton Valley in the southwest, to Whitecourt in the northwest, and to Wetaskiwin in the southeast, encompassing 26 communities.
