Supporting Ontario’s Caregivers and Shaping a Prepared Future with Amy Coupal, CEO of Ontario Caregiver Organization
What’s in this podcast:

We welcome Amy Coupal, CEO of the Ontario Caregiver Organization (OCO), to discuss the realities of caregiving and the crucial support available for Ontario’s 4 million caregivers. With over 20 years of experience in the non-profit sector and a personal connection to caregiving, Amy shares insights on the emotional and physical demands of supporting a loved one, the resources available to caregivers, and the importance of advocacy in shaping healthcare systems.

We also explore key findings from OCO’s latest Spotlight Report and Caregiver Preparedness Report, which highlight the evolving needs of caregivers and the steps we can take to better prepare and support them. Whether you are a caregiver yourself or know someone who is, this episode provides valuable knowledge, practical strategies, and a deeper understanding of the caregiving journey.

Right now, a caregiver in Ontario is wondering if they can keep going.
