Please join Reach, Equality and Justice for People with Disabilities/ Égalité et Justice Pour Les Personnes Ayant un Handicap, for an engaging discussion on Compassion Fatigue and Mindfulness for Caregivers. How can we best care for ourselves while also caring for others? Are you caring for an elder, a child or adult with special needs, disability or neurodiversity? Come learn about compassion fatigue, resilience, and how to develop a relaxation practice.

Our speakers will be Gail Dawson, Social Worker, MSW, and Heather Cross, Mindfulness and Yoga Instructor, owner of Here and Now Studio, and Lawyer.

Location:

363 Coventry Rd., Ottawa

About

Reach began its journey with a fundraising auction and this event has been key to supporting its programs annually. The auction is attended by the legal, business, and corporate communities and now attracts over 250 guests for an evening which includes a gala dinner and both a live and silent auction. Local and national businesses, artists, Embassies, High Commissions and others contribute items to be auctioned with proceeds going to support Reach’s effort to support equal access to justice for persons with disabilities and educational programming. Last year, net proceeds from the event exceeded $60,000 and auction items included once-in-a-lifetime experiences such as tickets to the 2017 Grey Cup and tickets to Tower of Song- A Memorial Tribute to Leonard Cohen. 

Join us Thursday, October 18th, 2018 at 5:30 p.m. at the St. Elias Centre (750 Ridgewood Ave) for the 38th Annual Auction!
