Student Lifeline – Caregivers
More than eight million Canadians — including many young people — say they’re caring for a friend or relative who is ill, disabled, or elderly. It could be at home, nearby, or from a distance. Although caregiving is rewarding, It’s also hard work and it can be one of life’s most challenging experiences.
If You’re trying to locate in-home care or other service providers to help you, if You’re stressed, or if you feel overwhelmed by trying to balance school, work, and caring for a loved one, Student LifeLine is here with support and resources.
