Caregivers in the Wild

Join us for an inspiring event discussing the challenging yet rewarding journey of being a caregiver. On Nov 30th, PREP members are invited to a free screening of Season 2 of the ‘Caregivers in the Wild’ digital storytelling series, featuring PREP’s Executive Director, Curtis Slater. This award-winning series follows 13 family caregivers as they explore both their caregiving experiences and the beautiful wilderness of Western Canada. A unique outdoor adventure is specifically designed for each caregiver by health researcher and adventure guide, Dr. Mike Lang, using his knowledge of therapeutic recreation, deep understanding of family caregiving, and extensive experience facilitating adventure trips over the past 15 years. This exclusive screening will include interviews after each episode with the participants to hear more about their unique experience. Curtis Slater joined the Caregivers in the Wild team for an episode to discuss the nature of fear as part of the caregiving experience, all while ice climbing up a frozen waterfall! This evening promises to be an inspiring, encouraging, and empowering event, so hopefully you are able to make it. This event will also be live streamed, so if you’re not able to make it onsite you can watch it by clicking here.

Date/Time: Nov 30th – Doors open at 6:30, screening begins at 7:00pm.
Cost: Free!
