Online Caregiver Workshop – Child Safety Seats for Families

In Alberta, children under the age of 6 years who weigh 18 kg (40 lbs.) or less must use a certified child safety seat when in a motor vehicle. When used correctly, child safety seats significantly reduce the chance of a child being injured or killed in a crash.
This workshop will provide advice and support for choosing, installing, and using child safety seats, booster seats, and seat belts for children of different ages, heights, and weights.

May is Speech & Hearing Month in Canada

This is a national opportunity to celebrate communication health and highlight the vital role of speech-language pathologists, audiologists, and communication health assistants. Their knowledge and experience supports Canadians of all ages in speaking, hearing, swallowing, understanding, and connecting with the world around them.
This May, Speech & Hearing Month shines a spotlight on the importance of equitable access to speech-language pathology and audiology services.
Access to speech-language pathology and audiology services can profoundly shape a person’s life. This year’s theme – Access Changes Everything – highlights how essential communication health services are across the lifespan. When individuals have timely access to these services, they experience stronger health outcomes, deeper social connection, and greater opportunities to participate fully in school, work, and community life.
However, when access is limited, the effects can be far-reaching. Communication challenges that go unaddressed can lead to increased stress, social isolation, reduced academic success, and barriers in daily functioning. These challenges impact not only individuals but also their families and communities.

National Caregiver Day April 7, 2026

Canadian organizations who are providing supports and services to make a difference in the lives of caregivers:https://www.carerscanada.ca/organizations-supporting-caregivers/
 
Caregiving is more than managing daily tasks – it’s about emotional readiness and practical confidence. With the right support, caregivers can transition from uncertainty to confidence, find clear answers to pressing questions, and transform distress into strength. By offering guidance, tools, and compassion, we empower caregivers to navigate their journey with resilience.
