Celebrating Family Caregivers

DIVERSEcity’s Newcomer Family and Friend Caregiver Support Program

Family members and friends devote countless hours to providing care to their relatives or loved ones. In BC, more than 26.5 per cent of the population are caregivers! As Family Caregiver Awareness Month this May comes to a close, DIVERSEcity’s Newcomer Family and Friend Caregiver Support Program recognizes and would like to thank and honour the humble heroes who do so much to keep their families and communities strong.

The program attended a successful event with clients and staff enjoying activities and having delicious food together, all with a smile on their faces. This was a great opportunity to bring awareness to caregiving issues, educate our community, and to show appreciation and support all those who care of our loved ones. Loads of fun, entertainment, and laughter were had!
