Need to Talk? Join a Peer Support Program

Caregivers support a family member, friend or neighbour with a physical or mental health challenge. The role can be exhausting and can lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness, as well as emotional burnout. If you would like to connect with a caregiver mentor who may be able to relate to your experience and offer support, consider joining the Ontario Caregiver Organization’s 1:1 Peer Support Program.

“The 1:1 Peer Support program was an amazing experience for me. It was wonderful to have insights from someone who has so much lived experience with this. The initial intake was easy and efficient, my mentor was very well suited to me and met my needs, and I feel much stronger coming out of this. Thank you!” – Caregiver Participant

There are approximately a half a million young caregivers (under 25 years of age) in Ontario who play a critical role in supporting a family member. The added responsibilities of being a young caregiver can have a significant impact on their education, career decisions, social life, and overall mental health. That’s why The Ontario Caregiver Organization, in collaboration with young caregivers, has created a website that offers information and resources dedicated to their unique needs.

For more information, please visit http://youngcaregiversconnect.ca/

Are you under 25? Do you help take care of a friend or family member? Then you are a young caregiver.

There are over 500,000 young caregivers in Ontario, who provide emotional support, personal and medical care, and help around the house, like cooking, babysitting and cleaning. If this sounds like you, you are not alone. In collaboration with young caregivers, The Ontario Caregiver Organization has developed resources and information that supports young caregivers’ unique needs.

“I have been looking for support being a young caregiver for a while. It has been nice to talk to other people my age that are going through similar things that I am.” – Young Caregiver Support Group Participant

Please visit http://youngcaregiversconnect.ca/ or join our private chat forum to connect with other young caregivers and share your experiences.

Are you aged 15-25 and caring for someone with a physical or mental health condition?

Visit youngcaregiversconnect.ca to connect w/ other young caregivers via discussion forum or peer support groups. @CaregiverON
