Are you a caregiver? We want to hear from you! 💜

Help us plan the next SCALE Together program in Northumberland.

SCALE Together is a free, nine-week, in-person mental health and well-being program for caregivers, offered by the Ontario Caregiver Organization (OCO) in partnership with local community organizations.

We're asking caregivers to share their preferences to help us determine the best day, time and location for our winter 2027 offering.

The program explores topics such as burnout, stress, grief, difficult emotions, self-compassion, setting boundaries and building meaningful connections.

Have a few minutes to share your input? Complete the survey here:

Please note: Completing the survey does not register you for the program. Everyone who completes it will receive information about program dates and registration in early December.

Your feedback will help us plan an offering that works for caregivers in our community!
