Family Caregiver Corner

Caring for a family member can be both a meaningful human experience and a tiring and emotionally challenging time.

Whether you are planning ahead, assessing your social networks and your community resources (who can you rely on for help and support?), connecting with support groups and health care specialists (for advice and emotional support), knowing what to do, where to go, what you can do on your own, and where and when you might need to turn for help and guidance can be important.

Where do individuals start? Where do they turn to for support, guidance, an empathic ear, meaningful conversations and helpful resources?

From incidental one-off advice that can be addressed simply in a quick phone call to more comprehensive planning and counselling, Mosaic is here to help. Forward planning addressing supports and guidance can help enrich and support the lives of family caregivers and those they care for through the good and the difficult times.
