Caring for a loved one with special needs is a rewarding, yet often overwhelming, experience. At Muscular Dystrophy Canada, we recognize that caring for a loved one with special needs can affect you emotionally, spiritually, socially and physically. As you learn about a diagnosis and its impacts, you develop new skills every day and discover new facets of yourself and your loved one. We are here to support you in this important role and provide you with peer support and respite opportunities.

Presented by Lawtons Home Health Care, and with specialist content delivered by our partnering organization Caregivers Nova Scotia, Muscular Dystrophy Canada is pleased to host our first series of Atlantic Caregiver Retreats. These Retreats will provide caregivers of persons with neuromuscular disorders a chance to take a step back, to share experiences and, most importantly, to learn from other caregivers directly.

Please join us at the location that works best for you. Space is limited.

For more information, please contact the Atlantic Services Office at atlanticservices@muscle.ca or 1-888-647-6322.
