Many caregivers experience financial stress associated with providing care for someone, whether it is a person with a disability, an older adult, or a family member or friend with an illness. In fact, lack of funding and the need for financial assistance are the issues Canadian caregivers most often identify as their biggest stressors. The following information aims to help caregivers consider and identify programs and resources that may provide financial relief. This guide was created for caregivers and care recipients who live in British Columbia.
