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.
With the strength of a NorQuest College education, our learners have the skills and confidence to further their studies, begin new careers, provide better lives for their families, and make valuable contributions to society.
At NorQuest, we have a unique ability to provide students with the skills Alberta needs in a supportive and inclusive environment. And with input from industry, business, and the public sector, we make learning relevant and rewarding.
We understand that our learners come with varying levels of education and we assist them at the times and places that meet their needs, whether that is in the classroom, via distance learning or continuing education.
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.
In addition, research shows that NorQuest College and our students added $471.4 million of total income to Edmonton’s regional economy. These outcomes are based on a 2016-17 study conducted by Economic Specialists International.
Located on traditional lands referred to as Treaty 6 territory, we serve 21,162 learners. This translates to 12,112 full-time and part-time credit students, and 9,050 non-credit or continuing education students, including assessment examinations.
As a regional steward, we provide access to adult education in Edmonton and the surrounding region. Our services reach from Drayton Valley in the southwest, to Whitecourt in the northwest, and to Wetaskiwin in the southeast, encompassing 26 communities. In all, three regional campuses complement our two Edmonton campuses.
