Located at the HSCD office in the lower level of the Mirror Lake Centre, our resource library is a one-stop shop for topics related to palliative/end-of-life care, grief and bereavement, and caregiver concerns. Browse books, DVD’s, and pamphlets for adults and children.

No registration or fees are involved. Simply fill in the library clipboard with the material title, your name and contact info, and the date borrowed. And no late fees – keep the materials as long as you need them, and return them when you are done.

The goal of NavCare is to improve the quality of life of older rural persons with advanced chronic illness via:
 

• Navigation services
• Community partnerships
• Coordinated access to services and resources
• Promotion of active engagement of older adults. 

Utilizing trained volunteers, the outcome of NavCare is that navigation services provide individuals with support, education and connection to resources in the community to help improve their quality of life and remain in their communities.

This 5-week program is for children ages 7-12 who are grieving a loss. Children will create a story box to fill with memories associated with their loss.

Through art and conversation participants will be skillfully guided by our team of trained and enthusiastic facilitators in a safe, welcoming and compassionate setting.

Parents and guardians are welcome to participate with their children. An intake conversation will be scheduled to meet the facilitators and to answer questions about the program.

As with all Hospice programs, there are no fees to participate in this program

Hospice is pleased to share news of the following grief support workshop.
Please note that this is not a Hospice-hosted program.

When a companion animal’s life ends, it is very understandable and normal for us to grieve and suffer a unique bereavement.  Often, we feel alone and isolated as grieving a beloved companion animal is not always understood by others or accepted in our society.  We want you to know that you are not alone and that grieving your companion animal is normal.

If your heart is heavy with grief, either from a recent, past or future loss, please join Facilitator Lyndell Drever for the day where you will:
 

• Share stories and honor our beloved companion animal
• Learn about grief, how it affects us and ways of coping with our grief
• Connect with others who are on a grief journey and know that we are not alone

January 20, 2019. 10am-3pm Camrose Veterinary Hospital

To register, or for more information, please contact Lyndell Drever @ 780-608-6337or lyndell@dreverag.com
Lunch and snacks are provided.
