Who can participate?
We encourage staff and volunteers from community organizations who have a caregiver support program to inquire and register for our Winter 2023 Cohort.
What is the goal of the Circle of Care Program?
Our goal for this training is to increase informal respite options for caregivers by increasing the community’s capacity to identify caregivers at risk of isolation and intervening effectively by mobilizing informal supports. We hope that participants could contribute to decreasing social isolation for caregivers and caregiver distress.

Family Caregivers of British Columbia is seeking people who can listen with compassion and who have caregiving experience or knowledge of family caregiver issues and concerns. We are looking to add support group facilitators to our volunteer team, as well as support community organizations who have a caregiving support program.
This training will provide you with information about the peer support group model, and the skills and techniques for facilitating a caregiver support group.
This online training will take place over four (4) days, gathering daily to navigate a 2.5 hour module. We expect you to make a commitment to full time participation in the 4 online module.
