Caregivers are family members or friends who provide both short term and ongoing care and assistance, without pay, to those in need of support due to physical, cognitive or mental health conditions. They are our parents, siblings, children of all ages, grandchildren, grandparents, friends and neighbours.

While caregiving includes immeasurable personal rewards, the physical, psychological, social and financial risks assumed by family and friends providing care have also been well documented. The Care-ring Voice Network believes that caring for caregivers is vital to the health of our communities and to our families.
