Include Patients and Family Caregivers as Partners. One third of family caregivers are in distress. They don’t feel heard. They are overworked and under supported. Unpaid family and friend Caregivers are essential to the health care system. They provide 80% of the care, yet they are often not recognized or included as a partner in care. Our mission is to educate and provide ways you can include and support caregivers as partners in care.
Family Caregivers of BC can help health care professionals support family caregivers.
Family Caregivers of BC’s Caregiver RX project helps health care professionals support family caregivers through education, outreach resources, and partnership. Health care professionals are critical to the success of emerging caregivers. The Caregiver RX project helps healthcare providers connect with Family Caregivers of BC with ease. The project also can help health care providers with strategies to build strong partnerships with family caregivers to help expedite evaluation and prevent errors in care.
