Caregiver Support

Caregiver Forum

The Family and Friend Caregiver Forum is held annually to acknowledge the incredible contributions of family and friend caregivers throughout British Columbia and to provide a venue for family and friend caregivers to meet and network with one another, to share their experiences, and to increase their knowledge and skills on caregiving issues.

Who should attend?

• An unpaid caregiver looking after a friend or family member who is elderly, chronically ill, palliative or living with a disability
• An individual planning to become a caregiver in the future
• A support group facilitator who meets with other caregivers
• A health professional with an interest in helping the caregivers in your community

If you fall into any of these categories, we would love to see you at our Caregiver Forum each year!!

Take advantage of this opportunity to appreciate all of the caregivers you know, as well as do something special for yourself. Information on the forum will be posted on our website closer to the date of the event or contact Caregiver Support Program to receive a registration package.
