Join our Autism Parent & Caregiver Support Group

OnThursday, November 20th 6-7pm,
Mareas Therapeutic Services—proudly serving the Hamilton and Niagara regions—is pleased to present an informative and supportive session on vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue, and how their symptoms can mirror those of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

This presentation will help you understand what happens when we carry the emotional weight of those we support—professionally or personally—and what steps we can take to safeguard our own mental health.

Each week, we create a space where you can show up exactly as you are—whether you want to share, learn, or simply rest quietly among people who understand the work you do and the emotional load you carry.
