Engaging Millenial Minds
Young Caregivers – Taking Care of Your Parent or Grandparent

One in four young Canadians provide care to a family member or friend but taking on the role as a caregiver can interfere with life pursuits. Education and career development may be postponed, and delays may be experienced in leaving the family home, getting married, and having children. Rates of caregiving are particularly high among young women.
Providing care is not always restricted to helping one family member, friend, or neighbour. About one in four young caregivers provide care to two people, while 19% provided care to three or more family members or friends. Ailing grandparents are the most frequent recipients of young caregivers’ help, followed by parents, and around one third help with age-related needs. Caregivers under 30 most often help with chores like meal preparation and cleaning, transportation to and from appointments or shopping, and house maintenance or outdoor work. But sometimes care includes paying the bills and personal grooming.
The additional potential costs of caring for a loved one include accidental injuries, sleep problems, depression and social isolation. Hear from a young caregiver on how she’s learned to cope, and gain a better appreciation for how proper wealth planning can help ensure families are financially prepared for the future.
Enjoy light refreshments, and a chance to win fabulous door prizes.

Creative activities are therapy for the mind. Whether it’s writing, sewing, playing music, or painting, a creative outlet can improve your mental clarity.
Creativity can reduce your stress and quell anxiety, increase and renew your brain function, and improve your mood.

These mental and emotional benefits play a huge role in achieving long-term wellness.
Join us to learn about the role art can play in health, wellness, and managing stress, plus enjoy an art workshop with oil and chalk pastels as well as a full watercolour experience.

﻿

There’s good evidence that what you eat directly affects the structure and function of your brain, and ultimately, your mood.

What you eat, how you feel, and how you ultimately behave are connected. Eating foods that contain lots of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants nourishes your brain and protects it form oxidative stress which can damage cells.
