CAREGIVER WELLNESS
Are you a personal caregiver? If so, then you are among the 8.1 million Canadians supporting loved ones. [Health Council of Canada, 2012] As a carer, you are aware that the challenges and rewards of caring require a significant toolbox and access to a variety of local and online resources.
PCSBV is committed to partnering with you to navigate to the resources that best address your unique needs. Watch our website for announcements regarding fall/winter support groups. As well, we invite you to connect with us about our support companion program. As a carer you are not alone.
