Do you help your elderly parent(s) with tasks such as grocery shopping, house maintenance or cleaning, medical appointments, or even personal care (baths, meals, etc.)? Does your spouse have an illness like heart disease/stroke, arthritis, cancer, MS, ALS, Parkinson's, or Alzheimer's? Do you support an adult family member who lives with a chronic illness, brain injury, mental illness, or disability? Are you the main person who checks on and/or helps a neighbour or friend because "there's no one else"? IF SO, YOU ARE A "CAREGIVER". A caregiver is a family member or friend who provides unpaid care for someone living with challenges due to disability, illness, or age. Caregiving can be stressful, time-consuming, expensive, and career-limiting. Trying to balance your caregiving obligations, child care, employment, family life, and social life can be a near impossible task unless you have the support you need and deserve. We are here to help YOU. We are an organization of caregivers for caregivers that helps them maintain their own well-being over the caregiving journey. We offer information, education, support, networking, and advocacy to make caregivers' lives less difficult. Please call us at 1-877-453-5088 if you need any information, help finding a service or getting support, or just want to talk to someone who cares. We will do everything we can to help you, no matter where you live. OUR MISSION:TO EMPOWER CAREGIVERS AND PROMOTE THEIR WELL-BEING OUR VISION:AN ALBERTA WHERE CAREGIVERS ARE VALUED AND SUPPORTED
