Caring for Caregivers

About the Opportunity

The Carers Project team at McMaster University is inviting caregivers (care partners) of older adults aged 60 years or older living in Ontario to participate in a research study focused on developing strategies and interventions to support caregivers’ mental health and strengthen access to resources.

Your insights will help develop strategies to better support caregivers' mental health and inform resources and support for those experiencing social isolation.

What will be expected of me?

• Take photographs that document your experiences as a caregiver and share and discuss it in a 1-hour focus group session.
• Participate in a 1:1 interview (60 minutes) about your knowledge and use of resources/ interventions in the community that support your caregiving role.
• Attend a 90-minute community engagement activity to identify the critical issues that arose from the discussions that can be reasonably addressed within the next two years.

How can I participate?

You can fill out the form linked here to express interest or email caregiving@nurseworklife.com if you have any questions. More information about the study can be found here.
