Help us help family caregivers.
Family caregivers provide 10 hours of care for every one hour of care provided by the health care system. Family caregivers report often feeling distressed while trying to balance family, work and care and many feel isolated. Family Caregivers of BC’s programs and resources directly support family caregivers at all stages of their caregiving journey.
With you support, we will continue to:
- Facilitate and grow support group networks.
- Provide free education for family caregivers.
- Provide free one-on-one emotional support to family caregivers through our toll-free help line and caregiver coaching sessions.
- Increase the recognition of family caregivers as partners in care in the health care system.
- Develop BC’s go-to family caregiving resource centre.
