Description:
The Ontario Caregiver Organization Peer Support – 1:1 Peer Support Program
If you support someone in need and feel anxious and overwhelmed with your caregiving responsibilities, you’re not alone. We all face challenges on the caregiving journey which is why it is important that we connect with our fellow Caregivers and lend one another support. The Ontario Caregiver Organization’s 1:1 Peer Support programs are here to help you.
An OCO trained peer mentor will:
- Just be there’/Listen
- Provide encouragement, support and acceptance
- Acknowledge a caregiver’s strengths
- Share lived experience and give real life examples
- Discuss a caregiver’s wellbeing
- Celebrate any goals the caregiver achieves
- Be someone for a caregiver to bounce ideas off
We are always here to answer your questions.
