Interlake Connections: Caregiver Wellness

We are back with more Interlake Connections, with this months session being held in Selkirk on June 25!

Interlake Connections has coordinated with Family Advocacy Network to offer meetings in conjunction with one another. With information sessions from 6-8, Interlake connections will present information and lead discussions with topics identified by families. And following this session from 8-9, Family Advocacy Network will host their meeting.

The June session will focus on the importance of Caregiver Wellness.

This session will be held in Selkirk at the Gaynor Family Library  (more information on poster and event link below)

Registration Link: INTERLAKE CONNECTIONS PRESENTS: Wellness Matters Tickets, Wed, Jun 25, 2025 at 6:00 PM | Eventbrite

These sessions are for families that have dependents of any age.  These are great opportunities to learn with and from each other as we navigate the many systems.  The purpose of this group is to connect families with one another to learn and grow together through shared experiences.

We look forward to connecting with many families through Interlake Connections and supporting families to build a network throughout the Interlake.

Respite Option: 

We are providing an onsite respite option at events to try and reduce barriers to attending events.

The coffee house and Game Night poster attached provides some explanation on what the respite option will look like.

If you wish to register your family member, please note this on the eventbrite registration
