The RA Forms provided by Nidus (see RA Forms link in right sidebar under Highlights) come with lots of information and tips to help you complete a valid Agreement and use it effectively.
We provide lots of free information through our website. This is available to anyone. Select Information (top menu bar) then click on a topic.
Attend the free Q&A webinar. On the first Wednesday of each month, Nidus hosts a free webinar. There is a short presentation and then it is open for questions. Click to register.
Some people ask about personal help. Our ability to provide personal help depends on funding. We do not receive any ongoing or core funding.
We currently have some funding from Community Living BC (CLBC) to help folks in the community living sector with the RA7. Trained resource people can help by phone. This is not for agencies, staff or professionals. It is for family members or friends who are helping someone with their affairs. Email info@nidus.ca – give us some background on the need and we’ll try to match you up for help.
For other target groups, we have a trained volunteer who helps (with education, Representation Agreements, Nidus Registry) at in-person appointments on Monday afternoons through South Granville Seniors Centre (in Vancouver). You need to book ahead. Email info@nidus.ca with some background and we can give you a phone number to book a free appointment. This is for the public, not professionals.
