Appreciation post for Ted Rogers Centre for Heart Research's Our Heart Hub. Seeing this page for carers of people with #HeartFailure meant a lot today -- knowing the family can have support and not having to hunt for it piecemeal. Thank you ❤️ ourhearthub.ca/caregiver-supp…

Kare: The Magazine for #YoungCaregivers is out! 🥳 so grateful to RAANM for a beautiful bilingual collab, & to Canadian Centre for Caregiving Excellence and Fondation de la FMSQ for enabling us to take on a project like this. A milestone for AMI-Quebec's #YoungCarers initiative. amiquebec.org/kare/

Let's challenge the misuse of #Accessibility in policies. Affordability isn't the same as accessibility. From #Childcare to #DentalCare, tell us what truly inclusive policies look like to you. Take our survey: forms.office.com/r/q6AZ1Q0uG0 #NationalAccessAbilityWeek #NAAW2024

A HUGE milestone for care providers! Canada will offer permanent residency to care providers from abroad. This is something we've been advocating for + what caregivers + care providers say they need. Thank you Min Marc Miller ᐅᑭᒫᐃᐧᐅᓃᐸᐄᐧᐤᐃᔨᐣ for giving hope to millions. #CdnCaregiving #CdnPoli

A promising development: The Japanese government seems to be taking action to recognize and support young carers. 'Japanese government adopts plan to strengthen policies for children' www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/ne… The United States should do the same. #CaregivingYouth

While there is no direct research on how many Young Caregivers support a loved one with an ABI. We do know that around 41% of identified YCs in Canada support someone with a disability and around 50% of YCs care for multiple family members and for multiple reasons.

62% of caregivers juggle work with care responsibilities. As the youngest daughter of immigrant parents, Susan Palijan provides care to her father while working full-time and completing her PhD. Read her story: bit.ly/3QpIhC4 #CdnCaregiving

If you are 15-25 years old and supporting a loved one, this magazine is for you. Find information and stories about what being a young carer is like, emotional regulation and self-care strategies, tips for balancing, where to find help and more!

Family caregivers often run out of time to take care of themselves. Try to find a way to make time for yourself so you can recharge and be the best -you- you can be, not only for your loved ones--but for yourself. You deserve it ❤ #VacationVibes
