Share your story

Consultation has concluded

We are looking for caregivers to share personal caregiving stories in writing to help other caregivers, like you, feel less alone. These will be shared anonymously in our weekly 90Second Caregiver Newsletter, designed to provide caregivers with support in less than two minutes.

Each dispatch includes:

  • An introduction to a relevant topic for caregivers and their well-being
  • Actionable tips on the topic
  • A personal story (that's where you come in)
  • Programs and services that can help caregivers
  • A place for caregivers to provide feedback on the newsletter

What will be expected of me?

You'll be invited to write your own personal caregiving story in an email to our team.

Each caregiving story should communicate:

  1. How long you have been a caregiver
  2. What health condition the person you're supporting is experiencing
  3. The challenges you face, and how you met those challenges based on the topic chosen below
  4. One key takeaway for others to learn from

Select at least one of the following topics to write about: (example: circle of support - chosen family and caregiving)

  1. Circle of support
  2. How to deal with unexpected caregiver anger and aggression from your care recipient
  3. Financial well-being and caregiving
  4. Caring for a developmentally delayed child as a caregiver
  5. Your hearing loss and its impact on caregiving
  6. Understanding how your culture affects your caregiving
  7. Rural and remote caregiving
  8. Creating a daily routine as a caregiver
  9. How cultural obligations can impact caregiving
  10. How do you manage as a caregivers when your care recipient refuses outside supports
  11. Power of attorney –information caregivers should know
  12. Mind and body connection in caregiving

Is there another topic you'd like to focus on that could help other caregivers? If so, let us know that topic in your email.

Once you send your story, you'll connect with someone from our team virtually or over the phone for edits, with final approvals by you before we move forward.
