Acknowledgement of Caregiver Stress
I'm happy to see that attention is being paid to how caring for an individual with a chronic health condition (just a reminder: this includes Mental Illness!), can lead to higher stress levels and a negative impact on the mental health of the caregiver. If 1 in 5 individuals in Canada experience a Mental Health concern, that means that 4 out of 5 could be caregivers. Let's not forget that when everyone is supported through this journey, recovery for the whole family and a higher quality of life is extremely achievable.
