Caregiver? Need to Talk? Join our Peer Support Program
If you’d like to connect with a caregiver mentor who can offer support, consider joining the Ontario Caregiver Organization’s 1:1 Peer Support Program.
“The 1:1 Peer Support program was an amazing experience for me. It was wonderful to have insights from someone who has so much lived experience with this. The initial intake was easy and efficient, my mentor was very well suited to me and met my needs, and I feel much stronger coming out of this. Thank you!” – Caregiver Participant

There are approximately a half a million young caregivers (under 25 years of age) in Ontario playing a critical role in supporting a family member. This can have a significant impact on their education, career decisions, social life, and overall mental health. That’s why The Ontario Caregiver Organization, in collaboration with young caregivers, has created a website that offers information and resources dedicated to their unique needs.
