Living Every Season Program
Sunny days. Rainy days. We’ll be there.
A support program for Albertans with life-limiting illness.
The Living Every Season program provides safe, confidential support in a social setting designed for adults who are living with a life-limiting illness.
The regular, interactive sessions of the Living Every Season program create an empathetic community for participants to connect with others, learn from speakers and continue to live a good life while also living with a terminal diagnosis.
A life-limiting diagnosis can bring feelings of fear and isolation. The Living Every Season program is here to help.

Each Living Every Season session, led by a trained facilitator, includes a check-in time for participants to share their successes, challenges and coping skills from the past week.

No topic is off limits and suggestions are welcome. Each gathering includes time to socialize with the other participants, the speaker and the facilitator.
