Trilby shares her personal experience of taking care of and advocating for her mother who is suffering from dementia and resides in a care facility in P.E.I. (Prince Edward Island, Canada). And the additional challenges while under the Covid-19 pandemic.
Below are links describing some of Trilby's creativity, advocacy and self-isolation ideas in PEI.
