On Supporting Caregivers

This week, Laura McGregor, a mom, instructor, and researcher in Waterloo, ON, speaks with Caitlin Plant, Program Manager at DCO, about her journey of being a caregiver to a child with complex care needs. She also shares some advice on how we can all better support the caregivers in our lives, and she talked a little bit about her research around how families who are part of a faith community feel their churches succeed or struggle to help them feel supported. If what we talked about today has left you feeling the need to speak with someone, or if there is something else going on in your life you’d like to chat about, please reach out to ONTX and/or one of our Member centres.
