Founded in 2001 by a group of concerned caregivers, Caregivers Alberta strives to empower caregivers and promote their well-being by providing resources, mental health support, and education for Albertans caring for family members or friends.
No one chooses to be a caregiver, yet one million Albertans are currently living the caregiving journey without hesitation. At Caregivers Alberta, our role is to champion unpaid, family caregivers so that they can fulfill their roles in a healthy, sustainable way. We do this through advocacy and community-based partnerships across the province.
A resource and education program that teaches caregivers how to meet the needs of a loved one with an injury, illness or disability.
Teaches caregivers how to meet the needs of a loved one with an injury, illness or disability. Caregivers can be parents, spouses, family members or friends. Caregivers learn about the physical, emotional and psychological impacts of the injury, illness, developmental delay or disability. The educational programs were developed by health professionals and physicians at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital (GRH), other Alberta Health Services (AHS) sites, and community partners. The material is designed to provide optimum care, to provide information on various resources, and to build confidence and self reliance of caregivers. Caregivers are also provided with strategies and suggestions for developing strong networks in the community and with other caregivers.
