Get Help

Caring for a family member or friend is a tough job.

  • You may be holding down a full-time job or struggling to maintain employment.
  • You may have other caregiving responsibilities… like raising children.
  • You may be dealing with a health condition of your own or ignoring your own health because of the stress of caregiving.

The top thing we hear from family caregivers is that you feel burned out. Experiencing some stress is part of everyday life. When symptoms of stress persist though, they can be harmful. Use our Caregiver Self-Assessment to check-in with yourself and your needs.

BC Caregiver Support Line

Call our toll-free BC Caregiver Support Line at 1-877-520-3267, 8:30 am – 4:00 pm PT, Monday to Friday. FCBC staff are experienced in dealing with caregiver situations. We take time to listen to you which distinguishes us from the busy health care providers you may encounter. We are then able to offer help with:

  • Information and referral to resources
  • Healthcare navigation
  • Emotional support
  • Access to support groups
  • Access to webinars, articles, and resources specific to your needs

Our goal is to listen with compassion, remembering that while there may be common themes, each experience is different and so are the needs. For many caregivers, the support they find is in simply knowing they are not alone in their experience. We are interested in what you are going through and want to be among the resources you think of for support.

Dear CSL Columns

The staff on our Caregiver Support Line hear a lot of questions from callers, and want to share some of the more often asked questions. They contribute a regular column to our quarterly Caregiver Connection newsletter that shares some of these most-asked questions.

  • Bouncing Back from a Decline or Setback
  • Can You Share Some Mental Health Resources?
  • Caregiver Experiencing Abuse – how do I help?
