Caregivers: A very personal journey

Caregiving is a subject that touches all of us at one time or another, but we don't often focus in on the realities of it, so let's open up a frank conversation around caregiving, with Kelly MacDonald and his guests. Amy Coupal, CEO of the Ontario Caregiver Organization (OCO), gives us the concerning statistic’s around lack of supports for caregivers, and where to find helpful resources. Susan Palijan and Carla Velastegui, two individuals with their own caregiving journeys, offer us vulnerable perspectives into their experiences and what they've learned along the way. Whether it's children looking after aging parents, neighbours checking in on the elderly in their community, or hired support for people with disabilities, life brings us together through caregiving, and here's a chance to hear the stories of the people taking care of us.
