However, there is a community of caregivers looking for
supports just like you.”
Christine Lange & Jasmine Keller
Welcome
As our third-year Bachelor of Social Work practicum with Thompson River University, we created this website to help spread awareness and support for caregivers within the community and beyond. We want to disclose we are not trained professionals in this area. Our goal is to bring awareness and help you connect with trained professionals. It takes a community for healthy living and aging. In times of caregiving, it is easy to fall victim to thinking you are alone in your situation. Caregiver fatigue is more common than anyone wants to admit, and there is a community to support you throughout your challenges.
