Sometimes, you just need to hear a kind voice.
As young caregivers, we understand that the caregiving journey is filled with ups and downs. We know that this journey can be equal parts rewarding and taxing. Finding balance and support to navigate this journey can seem difficult in between medical appointments, school and family commitments. That’s precisely why the Ontario Caregiver Organization created the 1:1 Peer Support Program.
Experienced caregivers know best just how challenging being a young caregiver can be is which is why connecting with another experienced young caregiver who you can share in your experiences within a supportive environment that suits both of your schedules, is “just what the doctor ordered.” Mentoring is one method of passing on lived experiences to support another person in an empowering and meaningful way.
