Provincial Learning Event-Spending it Right for Family Caregivers, A Toolkit for Handling Other People’s Money Webinar
Managing money for a family member can start with something as simple as paying a bill or helping with a purchase, but over time, the role can become much more complicated. In this webinar, Barb MacLean, Executive Director of Family Caregivers of BC, will share what 143 family caregivers told us about providing financial support to someone they care for, including the challenges, uncertainties and grey areas they encounter. We will explore how to understand your role, clarify financial and legal authority, keep simple records, and recognize risks such as financial abuse and scams. Participants will learn about Spending it Right for Family Caregivers: A Practical Toolkit for Handling Other People’s Money and where to turn for trusted support when caregivers are unsure what to do. This is not a legal workshop and does not offer legal or financial advice.
