💡 Who cares? Half of us will at some point, yet this work is unseen + undervalued despite being the linchpin of Cdn society. 🎙️ Who Cares, our new podcast explores the realities of caregiving. 📅 Launching Jan 8. Let's talk care, Canada. #CdnCaregiving apple.co/3DMgDfd

Incredible article by Louise Kinross interviewing another awesome sibling, TerrenceHo.eth. Nodding my head as I read along - what a relatable and meaningful article for sibling caregivers ❤️

Who cares? Best part of my weekend was listening to the first 2 episodes of this podcast on caregiving - with caregivers and care providers together, hosted by Melissa Ngo, MDes , sister, advocate, & podcaster! - Loved the linchpin analogy & and all of the interviews - links below

Love this. But there's a sense in ep.3 that parents don't prepare their kids to care for a disabled sib. That's because professionals have advised parents to assure sibs that this won't be their role. That was the message I always received in workshops.

As a kid, whenever I would come across another sibling caregiver, I used to think it was like meeting a unicorn, because it was so rare that I could find someone who understood my experience. 🦄 I consider myself lucky, because there are many unicorns in this week’s episode ✨

🔊 This week, the CCCE launched a national campaign: Act on Care, which is YOUR opportunity to make caregiving a national priority. . By visiting canadiancaregiving.org/Act, you can send a letter to the federal Minister of Seniors, your local MP and all federal candidates.

Care providers are essential to our care economy but are underpaid and overworked. A living wage of at least $25/hour would enable care providers to do their much-needed work + allow more Canadians to receive the care they need. Learn more: bit.ly/3vEAWaL #CdnCaregiving

In Ontario, there will be an estimated 2.5 million *more* caregivers by 2030 - we’re looking at 6.5 million. So many people are looking for support in various systems throughout our country - we need to do better for caregivers in Canada. #ActOnCare
