Caring for our family & friend caregivers
The Penticton Caregivers Support Program is dedicated to improving the lives of people who are caring for an adult family member or friend with complex health needs. A caregiving family includes the caregivers and the person receiving care. The program's professional family counsellor and peer supports provide individual counselling, group supports, and advocacy for the emotional, physical and financial burdens of caregiving. |
